My apologies for not choosing my words more carefully. If you don't feel comfortable with using a hammer, then don't use the hammer. Simple. I was just trying to convey some information that I found helped me when I was in the same situation, and, to my knowledge, had no negative effects.

Best thing to do. Next would to choosing your tools correctly. Starting with http://www.blasterforum.com/general-support-17/downloadable-yamaha-blaster-manual-17325/ or 1990 Yamaha ATV Repair, Service, and Maintenance Manuals Containing (blaster) then you need this http://www.blasterforum.com/do-yourself-20/diy-crank-puller-43994/ . Maybe a rubber hammer or dead blow, but not a
Wilton BASH Sledgehammer — 20-Lb. Head, 36in. Handle, Model# 22036 | Sledge + Demolition Hammers | Northern Tool + Equipment

When all else fails try reading the instructions and doing it right

I'll add buying OEM parts to that. Lesson learned on the aftermarket stuff.
