Anytime you are faced with such, and the solution appears that a few good raps with a hammer would be the solution - please remember that bicycles are not cars. You walk by a car garage: BAM! BAM! VRRRRAAAAAA!! BAM!...so forth. Only rarely do you hear a hammer, or other driver-tools, at work around bikes. Bikes require more finesse and delicate approaches. So I am very glad you asked before you went forward.
Bicycle mechanics are closer to being an artist. Car mechanics are closer to sporting enthusiasts. The users are the full spectrum.
