Undo the three bolts and the wheelnut then if it still won't move, hit with hammer.

Don't! Use a rubber mallet instead. Or take a piece of wood, place it in between and hit the wood. There's very little need for a hammer when repairing motorcycles.
I have learned from my mistakes, and I am sure I can repeat them exactly.

Sorry did I say hammer, I meant reciprocating tolerance adjuster.

Mash, claw or ballpein.
You've got to have an old hammer in yer toolkit. Preferably with the base burned from welding
