The hammer method only works up to 1948 Model x Cameros. The later models use a little more finess.. An air hammer...With the chisel bit.

I think that's one of the corollaries to Murphy's Law - If it jams, force it. If it breaks, it needed to be replaced anyways. And from my experience - no matter what size hammer you choose to use, you needed a bigger one.
