Default Intereasting ways to get parts off.

What was your most redneck rigged way to pull a part off your truck? Mine is from today changing the water pump on my moms 03' Durango R/T and I had rented the fan clutch wrench from napa which had turned out not to have the parts I needed, so I proecceded to pull the water pump off, I get it off and decided I was screwed! But me and my brother proceeded to try using crow bars, screwdrivers, and finally we ended up with a bayonet of a 1941 Mosin Nagant, which we wedged in to the pulley and yanked the livin hell outta of the nut using a 10 inch extension on the heater hose output. and since my garage does not have drywall I put the waterpump up against the 2x4 and fought the SOB till it came out. took a whole lot longer than it would with the proper tool but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Lets hear your stories.

Set the outrigger of a backhoe on the car top and pulled a 302 ford motor and trans out. Kind of broke the trans thou.Didn't take anything loose either. Does this count?
