Make sure the frame is well supported, a good hammer and a good drift of some sort. i use a nice large punch.  Chubs' seatpost idea is a good one. One or two strikes at a time, on opposing faces, as it were....  12 oclock, 6 oclock, 3 oclock, 9 oclock etc..  should come out fairly easily on older stuff as their tolerances don't tend to be as tight  :)

Mind your thumbs  ;D ;D ;D
