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.

water pump on my 99. didn't have the fan clutch tool so i pulled it as one unit then put a oil filter wrench on the impeller and a big pipe wrench on the clutch nut. it worked.

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?
