Removing the crank key

[RRSweden]

I'm new at this and I don't want to ruin enything...
I gave the little crank key som not-so-gentle pounds but it won't move... Am I doing it wrong?
I googled a pic of mopars BB crank keys and saw that they are'nt all rounded, but flat on the edges. Does this require another method of removal?

Take a small punch and tap one end of the key, it'll come out.

Try doing the opposite side now and alternate.

Put a little bit of trans fluid on the snout and give it a few minutes then try

A bit of tapping it will come out.

You know the feeling when you're putting so much force on something that you start to question your brain...
Thanks you guys!
