You do have to take a little extra care on deep offset wheels but it's done w/o issue by most people. I just sit on a shop stool and I use both hands on the hammer and hit the ear of a spinner on the back side of the wheel. If an ear isn't positioned well to strike just roll the car a little to position it. With a 5 or 6 lb hammer you don't have to take a big old - hard to control - swing at the ear. Using both hands which also helps deliver more power as well as control, my strokes are probably only about 8 inches or so which is very controllable but still delivers a lot of impact. It doesn't require wailing on the spinner with a big old, start above the shoulder swing. |
