I've tried the dead blow on a friends '80s 944 S4 (bought used and key was not supplied), took A LOT more swing to get the socket to start slipping on, switched to a 32oz ball peen with a 1" dia X 6" long brass bar held on the socket (to avoid hitting the wheel if I slipped), the socket seated right away with the ball peen (around 1/2 the swing force/speed).
