Within reason -and if you know how to do it.

Tapping it with a hammer is okay to get it started then you should use the replacement tool to install it the rest of the way. I've hammered them on before on untapped crankshafts without any problems but I used a piece of 2X4 to hit on. However, if the crank is already tapped why take a chance...
