Hey, Dave.....I like your idea of simplicity.  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.  Paul Conner
