LG Intellowasher model number WM 12220FD - drum will not knock out of bearings.

I have replacement bearings and seals supplied by you. I have removed drum casing and split the plastic casing to remove front section. Inner drum will not budge from bearings despite increasing force of blows to shaft end. Drum rotates but will not slide out. Have used WD40 on outer bearing but cannot see how to spray this on inner bearing. What is my best next course of action without causing damage?

    I have recently changed bearings on an LG machine and found one of the best ways to knock the drum out is by dropping the inner drum and rear onto the drum shaft from 60 cm onto a paving slab. The momentum of the drum rear will usually allow the shaft to break free quickly.
