A hammer and chisel works well normally. A tap or two and is out ready to be unwound.

I use a screw driver usually. Because its been bent so much its probably weakened the metal so shouldn't take much knocking back out

I have done the standing and bouncing on a breaker bar thing in the past aswell though

Cold chisel was how I would normally do it, but can't get a chisel in there unfortunately. The only way I can get a chisel on it is to hit it backwards, when it needs to go up.

I did try a screwdriver but because the slot is pretty slim, it's a small/weak screwdriver and it just mangled the tip without moving the nut

Got an awl handy? Might be able to knock one of those in.

I've also used a centre punch before

Centre punch or nail punch would have the same problem as cold chisel I think, reckon they'd mock the pinch in rather than up

An Awl is an interesting idea though...

Not going to get on it tonight after all, only just on my way home from work now

Interesting,

never seen that before. Can you spin the bearing in hand now or is it still tight??
