I recently got one of the Pound-on-em-with-a-hammer types at a local VW FLAPS
named Barretts (I think they advertise in the VW mags) for about 5.99.  They
had both the 36mm and Vanagon 46mm sizes.  It has a place for a 1/2' drive
breaker bar to add constant force whilst you're pounding.  I have not used
mine yet, but I knew I'd need it before too long.
