I've been doing it ghetto (looooong skinny screwdriver + rubber mallet) for 16 years and never damaged any parts or frames. With all my bikes, wife and kids bikes, it's probably a 2x/year operation. That's ~$600 saved... I guess the ghetto paid for the used Burley tandem I just bought last month

YMMV

/I like the split copper pipe tool though -- I'll be going that route from now on.
