    Which hammer? The rawhide mallet or the little 8 ounce ball pein? I wouldn't use either of these for a taper pin. I'd use a 16 ounce hammer if not a 24. Or a 2 pound sledge.

    Exactly Tweak, big hammers aren't needed if you're doing it right!
    The only pins which have given me trouble are CMMGs marshmallow pins.

    I cannot agree with IG's Kroil advice enough. If I suspect I am going to have to drive the bastards, I start soaking them weeks in advance.

    I've got a little bitty hammer somewhere. I inherited it from my Grandmother. I'll see if I can find it and try it on a taper pin. I'm descended from a bunch of railroad men. Big hammers are a family tradition.

    It's not the size of the hammer but how you use it.

    Well, I set out to tease you about your little bitty hammer but it didn't work out the way I planned so I reckon I'll quit before I get any farther behind.

    That's what every guy with a small hammer says



    I left you a jest.

    But, seriously, it's a solid first hit that counts and a large OD punch is what works best. Once the pin starts it's usually easy. Pic of same to follow.

    Is that a Starrett punch in the lower left? If I had known you had Starrett tools I wouldn't have screwed with you. I like the idea of hitting it with a big punch one blow.

    I am also a new believer in Kroil. The stuff really helps.
