Use a small 3" C clamp for force. Cut a small pin for the punch. Use a nut
or bushing on the anvil side so the pin can slide into it as it comes out
of the shaft and gear. We had a small clamp that had the anvil ground down
and a hole drilled through it in line with the clamp screw. The clamp screw
had been turned down to a smaller dia. than the pin. I think the clamp
screw was a replacement section of thread stock and it had a nice knob on
it. I think, I took one apart once. The problem was not in the can. Now
after 50 years, there could be things in there that need service.

I like the idea of the modified C clamp.
