As JBCobra previously mentioned, I too use a 2x4 along with a regular size sledge hammer. I am not sure a 3lb hammer is enough weight. You should be able to hold the 2x4 in one hand and the sledge hammer in the other. You will find it necessary to choke up on the hammer to control the swing and have the wrist strength to swing it one handed. The good thing is the added weight doesn't need to be swung around much and you end up allowing the hammer to do the work. There is no need for a big windup swing. Move the 2x4 around and hit the different ears on the spinner if need be. As suggested, make sure to use anti-seize when putting back together again.
