I've done both - holding and resting it on something that isn't covering the bearing/axle. It's not even close to moving and I'm hitting it with more force than I'm comfortable with. Might have to try the WD40 route.
OK, that did it. Took out one of the bearings too. Removing the other bearing is just a case of hitting it from the other side with the end of a screwdriver, right?
E2a: sorted. New bearings on the way too. I'm guessing putting the new ones in is just as much of a faff, only in reverse, yeah?
