    I usually file the splines down some. Just enough to get them set without beating them in.
    Chuck them up in the drill press and hit them with a file.

    I'm going to suggest 4 hands, one set holding a heavy metal block held tight under the hinge, and a second set holding rod to act as a punch with a concave face (to prevent slipping) and a big hammer to hit from the top. That's if the hinges are on the car like mine are.
