i use a deepwell socket from my 1/4 inch drive set, has never ever failed me, it is long enough to smack, and tough enough not to get all mushroomed out
i use a 12mm head bolt like the size of the manifold studs and used a dremel to chamfer the edge so its stepped and fits right inside the pin. 2 whacks and its out.
