FSA K Force Light - Stuck!!!

Hi. I have a a Cannondale Flash Carbon Hi-Mod which has the FSA K Force light crankset with the BB30 bottom bracket. The problem I have is that the crankset is well and truly stuck in the BB bearings and won't come out. I have undone the left crank which is the self extracting type and it comes off perfectly but the hollow spindle, right crank and chain set won't budge. I have given it a fairly hefty wack (several times) with a rubber mallet, as suggested by many, but it still won't budge. I have tried adding some WD40 to see if that will release it but it is still stuck fast. I really don't want to hit it any harder as it's a Carbon Frame and I may end up either breaking it or smashing the bearings. Any ideas would be gratefully received.

more force needed."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Use a copper hammer or a steel one through a hard block of wood, a rubber mallet absorbs too much of the peak shock you need to shock it loose.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0
