That`s what I like to see, whack it with a big hammer!
I wouldn`t do it though, I bought the right tool cos I`m a big jessie!
A bike shop I knew used to do it this way all the time. They had a small bench vice they used to press the ends over with also. (Obviuosly it wasn`t bolted to a bench at the time)!
Personally, I think you`re all animals!
