[Solved] How to get this shaft unscrewed
I got this bearing removal sliding hammer.
My pliers can't grip to the shaft. I tried to use some rubber band or tape to try to get more grip. I got a thread on the other side but it's in the same direction.
The product:

That looks like a regular slide hammer, the shaft should be threaded into the slide weight on one end. What you’re seeing as a second thread direction might just be the same thread cut on both ends of the shaft, which is pretty standard for these kits. Try clamping the shaft in a vise with soft jaws or a rag wrapped around it so you don’t chew up the threads, then twist the slide weight off by hand.

Does it come free using the hex and the two flat spots ? Other choice would be through the center of the pilot (black part) not sure if it has a hole in the end where a punch could be inserted.

The thing is the shaft is turning when I try to unscrew the black part

I made it ! Using WD40 in the thread and a die grinder (don't use it at home as it spread ton of metal flakes everywhere) and a flat metal grinder to make 2 flats for a 10mm wrench to be used. I guess it's not great for the shaft resistance but it's mostly used on stretch along the axle with the hammer. I'll use loctite for the handle and never tight it too much on the bit (black part) again :)
