Had a buddy hold the hammer behind the sprocket, and I went at it with the ground down nail punch. I don't think the goal is to do it in as few hits as possible, so I was meticulous and went around the pin a few times. But I would say that you see the fruits of your hammering labor very quickly--the pin must be pretty soft. After about 10 minutes or so, I swear you couldn't tell it from the rest.
Sometimes I think about not doing it with a press when I've got my pedal to the floor at 90 mph on the interstate on ramp. But then I remind myself that it looked damned good when I put it back together.
