Mike Far from your hammer being too big I'say that 8oz is much to small. Try a 2lb hammer. Phil. |

My thinking for needing a smaller hammer is that the peen end will have a smaller radius. The peen of a larger hammer has a face that's nearly flat compared to what I'm peening. That would be like hitting it with a flat faced hammer, no? |

Maybe a beefy center punch? Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk |

Okay, I finished up one side of the pin and did another pin very quickly. First pin literally took about ten minutes. Second pin under a minute. Both pins are nice and tight. I changed up a few things. I was using the "drill block" directly on the vinyl floor (concrete slab underneath). I moved that onto a wood block that I use as a car jack stand. I also took bigger swings, I think. And I was angrier this time. :) Thanks, guys. I've literally never done peening before. I think I should still get an anvil for future use.
