Default Removing hammers

In disassembling my latest and first hammer gun, while it is in great shape, after removing sidelocks and thoroughly cleaning the 130 years of sludge out of the lock, attempted to remove the hammer. While the screw came out relatively easily, the hammer won't budge. I have soaked with Kroil overnight, tried both heat and cold, with hardwood wedges (so we don't mare the lock plate) tapped under the hammer to lift it to no avail. Any secret here for this.

Would appreciate any advice. While not critical to remove unless I would desire to refinish, would like a solution.
