You can have someone kind of jiggle the brake assembly while you try to beat it out. If that doesn't work then you can try putting the top bolt back on and see if it takes some pressure off the bottom. But it def just hammers out . . . turning it won't do much good.

Also if it looks like there might be some rust particles around the hole then some penetrator won't hurt.
