Hi If you are using a ball hammer like mine, you slightly bring pressure downward as you turn the pin from the 12 to 1 position. pull above pitch and feel the click, and then bump back. This allows you to move the pin while hardly raising the pitch. Works for me may not for you. I would find the traditional hammer very hard to use.
