yep, thats the way shops do it instead of grabbing a rubber mallet.. save energy and is much much much faster...

i didn't write about that in my article because i wanted to use a set of tools that almost any home diy tool set should have... (sure i cheated and used air tools and a lift but the procedures could be done with typical hand tools in any basic mechanics set)
