My first idea was to get a small hammer and another tool and "kind of force it". Then I chickened out.
Any ideas?

The Featherweight Shop sells a tool for removing the bobbin holder. Common size for 221,222 & 301.
I was thinking of buying one, a bit pricey at over $40. There maybe other vendors for this tool as well. From what I read, thread gets behind the bobbin holder and jams it. This tool takes the holder off.
Maybe someone else already has one, and you can borrow it?
