Hi Jim, I bought this tool , so will try the methods you mention - especially the coffee break :-)) The gentleman I bought it from also had a couple of other interesting tools. An official torsion bar ride height adjuster gauge as well as an adjuster for the emergency brake on the rear of the older transmissions.

Granted, the impact gun is easier to use and may be quicker. However the Snap On shown for $75.00 is a bargain I've been using a tool similar to the Snap On previously shown, since 1956 with no difficulty. Swinging a brass hammer will strengthen your biceps and a rest period waiting for the drum to pop off is an opportunity to have a cup of coffee & relax.
