Problem removing driveshaft from 1924 Johnson BNL gearbox.

I’m dismantling the above to give it a good clean out prior to repacking with grease and cant remove the drive shaft. Its a fresh water motor to the best of my knowledge, as there is no corrosion visible and all the screws and bolts have come out easily. The problem is how to remove the gear off the shaft. I have tried holding the drive shaft in a padded vice and then tried driving the gearbox off with a plastic hammer, but no sign of movement ………..needless to say I don’t want to do any damage.

Again, thanks in advance for any help.
