On a 5/8" key you could use both together, one from either
side. The secret is to hammer the extractors in to load the
key then hit the face of the hub as if to drive the flywheel
or pulley further onto the shaft, This usually will free the
key. Always good to leave room behind the flywheel or pulley
when refitting for this reason.

Curved punches were also made for driving keys out from behind
if room was sufficient..

One of these, is the bee's knees, for bigger keys:
