I do something similar except I use a dedicated box end wrench with a 12" handle and a large ball peen hammer.

One advantage of a rubber-coated "dead weight" mallet is that the force it imparts can be quite high without applying such a high impulse. Which is to say it doesn't jolt quite so hard. I picked mine up for disassembling and assembling a gearbox. It turns out to be great for FWs and a few other applications.
