I'm surprised people are still hitting things with hammers that close to wings 
and spokes. I've always used the Moss wrench and fabbed an extension for 
stubborn KO's and it has always worked. The wrench stows invisible behind the 
spare. What am I missing other than the vintage "feel" and process?
