I use a long 1/2" drive breaker bar with a 1/2"-3/8" reducer.
You want to do it right the first time. If you mess up the 3/8" recess,
you're pretty much screwed!
This is a case where you might want to rent/buy a quality tool. Often the
cheap ones just don't fit the recess very well and want to round it
off/out.
I don't recommend the hammer method, because it's too easy to get things
out of line.
