A dead blow hammer doesn't provide the required force that lead does... Also, regarding applying heat, a local guy with a Superformance had a shop use heat and a lead hammer for a stubborn spinner and managed to singe the paint on his wheel...Damn!!! Lesson learned is that even a great mechanic shop that does awesome work on his daily driver isn't necessarily going to know how to deal with these unconventional cars.
