Don't force it get a bigger 'ammer
Reminds me of the time we fitted BOZ on the Nimrod watching an armourer fit the pylon pins. Nothing like Guy Martin and his Spitfire wing pins that expanded a tenth of a thou when held in his hand. These were driven in and being bruised to hell. no jiggling (a technical term) just brute force! they must have got them out sometime later.
When I nod my head you hit it!
