How long do you think it would take me to build an effective PSRU puller like you have constructed? (I already have a claw hammer). Can I cut the 2x4 with my tablesaw, or would I be better off sending it to a machinist to get the dimensions more accurate? All kidding aside, Dave....thanks for sharing your simple solution.
