[Healeys] hubs .. splines - autotightening

[wilkmanracing at aol.com]

I used to use a lead hammer as a cushion between a copper hammer and the knock off.? Worked great and added life to both hammers.? What do rolks think of the wood sleeves you can buy or the long-handled wrench that fit over the knock off?

What's the problem with lead hammers? I've used them (4lb) for years with no problems (kind of a waste of lead, though).?
