So, all you guys saying I need a bigger hammer. My hammer is 2.5lb. I can go up to a bigger hammer. My question is at what point when it doesnt budge am I doing irreparable harm to the action? I have already used considerably more force than any of my other tikkas required.

I use a 5-lb deadblow hammer and double-hand it, thinking, "Hulk smash."
