The grease/hydraulic method has worked for a lot of people.  We stumbled
upon the tap idea when the aforementioned method failed to work.  It kept
getting really messy in the engine compatment, squirting all that grease
all over when we hit the hammer, so we tired something different.

I guess the real key is whether or not you have a good plunger to drive
against when trying the hydraulic method.  Anyway... the tap thing works
great.


Glad it helped.
