"I may have pulled this side to far but that's okay, ill just go rear end somebody else" I could not stop laughing at this. He said it like it was a legit method of correcting his mistake. Effin gold.
Well done. I don't think I've ever seen body work done with a come-along, a tree and a sledge. Next time try to include a chainsaw or a post hole digger. That'd be impressive.
3 sixtyfiveford videos in a week! I always learn so much from your videos. Tips you can’t really find anywhere else. Really appreciate your approach to making and maintaining your vehicles and equipment.
Moms car is down w a bad transmission 6 months after needing a new motor, and I just hit the second deer ive ever hit in my life in the families spare. Things were looking pretty grim until I found this video and your encouragement. Words cannot express how thankful I am for it, getting ready to go try and spin the kinetic clock backwards on ol bessy lou, God bless.
I bought an old square body Toyota Corolla from a little old lady. It was sure a cream puff that was super slick and ugly with it's outdated body. My oldest daughter started driving it and it was wrecked nearly weekly. This technique worked many times on that poor car. Last time she pulled out and got hit in the rear wheel well. It pushed the trail arms into a twisted mess. That time I chained up to several trees and got the farm tractor (D14 Alice) and pulled it out best I could. I drove it a while longer afterwards and that tire would last about 2 weeks. When going to drop off the kitchen trash I'd shop for tires that would fit the wheel and swap them with the famous Harbor Freight tire changer. She bought her own car and never scratched it.
It's amazing that kids survive their first year of driving. I had a 86 honda accord that I couldn't kill. 3 years of jumps and offroad rally car action with only minor repairs. I baby my vehicle's now because it takes a lot of work to get another one.
How about actually teaching her to drive. Would be a heckuva lot easier than fixing up a wrecked car every week, and it just might save someone’s life.
Thanks man! Big help on my truck saved me tons of money and got me back on the road.was bid for 3,000 in damage ,ordered the parts from online discount store,1250 for parts,80 for custom spray paint bombs ,and I didn't use my insurance.saved 260 instead of paying 1500 in a deductible.
Love it! Did something very similar to my wife's Sundance when she rear ended a pickup. Went from looking like a write off to looking like nothing happened in a few hours of patient hammering and pulling. Lol, most painful part was paying for the other fellows bumper that she bent :)
Excellent video content! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you ever tried - Patlarny Vehicle History Principle (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a good one of a kind guide for discovering how to repair your car the simple way minus the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my work buddy at last got great success with it.
That was some darn good backyard body work...Body shops have those rubber coated dead blow sledge hammers for straightening / aligning new aftermarket bumpers
just wanna say, people may bash you but it is this style of repair that made collision repair what it is. As a DIY person this taught me new styles and go to's that i am most definitely going to be using. Thank you.
Good job on the rig sff, like it! I did a Chev Cavalier for myself few years ago and saved a bundle, ran it into the ground. Nothing wrong with saving a buck or two eh.Great video!
Thanks... I guess.... lol. I got 3 kids, two of my teens wrecked cars within year one of having a license. It doesn't take much to total an older vehicle. Drive safe everyone!
This was really good, but I think I'd want somebody with your sensibilities to help me think through the effects of each pull and hammer strike. I have a 2013 Impala that's been mildly rear ended twice. It needs some creases in the plastic bummer cover taken out. I'm thinking hear is the way to do it, but I'm skeirt, LOL!! Very creative fix on your part.
Great DIY emergency fix tips, and kudos for being the goto best neighbor ! Loved the : pulled it out too far, I'll just go rear end somebody to push it back in, joke. lol.
WAAAYYY back in the day I fixed my bother's '85 mustang after he smashed into someone. It was pretty bad as the doors wouldn't open because the fenders had been pushed back so far. In just a few hours I took off the bumper, hood and fenders and then using a jack and chain I pulled and straightened the radiator support/front end. A few gentle hammer hits to straight some sheet metal, a couple of well placed pushes on the hood while pulling to straighten it and you couldn't even tell the car had been in an accident, it was perfect. These days I'm happy to get it fixed properly by insurance as it's only a $500 deductible and roughly another $500 of increased premiums. While you can drive the DIY one and it looks pretty good, that damage underneath (bumper supports, bent supports) make it far more dangerous for the next accident.
@@sixtyfiveford I get what you're saying and most likely you'll be fine but to be fair, properly taking off the sheet metal and having a frame machine pull everything back to spec is far more precise and ensures that every support is where it belongs for the next possible accident so it does it's job, crumpling and extending the time of the impact and absorbing all the forces. In many cases these supports need to be replaced with new ones welded in because the damaged ones are creased, cracked or fatigued. Again, you did a great job making the vehicle drive-able and looking good again but with how cars are designed and made these day with their thin sheet metal and crumple zones, for a mere $1,000 it gives me pause. It would be a horrible thing to have either yourself or a loved one get seriously injured or worse, die, in the next accident just to save a little bit of money. I could be that as I've gotten older and have experienced life that I'm getting a little too safety conscious, but who knows ;)
@@sixtyfiveford That brings back a memory from my early days of driving. It was winter and the roads were coated in ice. A VW was waiting in my lane in town to make a left turn and I juuust did not stop before meeting him. The guy was so very understanding as he had just gotten the car back from the body shop the week prior. That one cost me $10 and a handshake. Impressioned upon me early on how to stop in icy conditions.
1- You'd be surprised how small a tree you can get away with, especially if it's something like an oak or maple. 2- the light posts with the big concrete bases that they use is mall and plaza parking lots work best, they don't give at all and I've used them to get an undrivable vehicle (front end/fenders bent it so far that the front tires are hitting) so I can drive it home. 2a- don't use a bobcat to tie it to, some of the bigger ones are quite heavy and seem like they would work, but they can be tippy and flip over. Ask me how I know :-/ 3- I've rarely used a come-a-long, usually, I use a length of chain, sometimes a tow strap, and then use the car (put it in reverse to pull out the front...) to do the pulling. When things are really bad, if you're tied off to something really sturdy like the concrete lamp base, you can even use a little bit of a running start to get things moving better. 4- other things that I've found handy doing this sort of work: Every kind of hammer you can think of from a sledgehammer to a body hammer, pry bars/crowbars, the biggest pair of channel locks you can find, adjustable wrenches are GREAT for bending and straightening sheet metal, clamp them on the metal and then use them as a big handle/lever, plumbers wrenches, jack handles or similar long pieces of pipe, vise grips work, but if you need something to pull on grab a medium size C-clamp you don't care about, an assortment of 2x4's and 4x4's, a bottle jack. A 4x4 Cummins Ram (they're typically right around 4tons) in 4LO does a really nice job at pulling.
One of the first vehicles I did was a Jeep that had hit dead center into a pole. I took it to the auto parts store and used the light post, trees and my truck to pull it out. They all cheered me on inside. I had to replace the radiator, timing cover, timing chain, headlights and few other oddities that I purchased from them. It took me around 4-5 hours in a snowstorm but I got it done and it lived on for another 7-8 years. I used to do more chain and just back up the car, but I like the slow steady pull of the come along. I can use the sledge hammer in connection with come along tension to move the part up or downwards.
Looking for a guy like you in my area. Pretty sure my wrecked front end is a simple repair, but insurance company totaled my car out. Now body shops won't touch it
I had an early first-generation model Corolla Tercel that got rear-ended hard by a woman tourist in Miami that pushed me through an intersection and crunched the rear end against the rear wheel. Broke the front seat and made the radio come out of the dash. I had it towed home and got the insurance company to let me keep the car after they totaled it. I used a sledgehammer to smash the rear away from the wheel. A bunch of boxers from central America lived in my building and when they saw me smashing my car came out and started hitting it too, sort of like Tom Sawyer and the fence painting, everybody wants to hit a car with a sledgehammer. I gave the car to my sister and she drove it for a couple of years.
Slowly and carefully pulled back out, Bumper 0 - Tree 1 lol. People do have a bad habit of slamming the ankers on without warning because they judged something wrong. When i used to drive a motorbike i stayed 2 car lengths away from the pillock in front of me lol.
I have drove right offs for years. I buy popular makes IE: Dodge Caravans, Ford f150 and buy two of the same make one good one. I'm driving a 2014 ford f150 4x4 4 door with 58000 kilometers (Canada) and have $2700.00 into it. I still have the other truck for parts. In a few cold winter days in a nice warm shop your on the road. Who needs those easy monthly payments.
Can you help me with an issue on the passenger side upper fender to bumper metal frame that has been cut out of my 2010 Chrysler 300? If so how do I send you photos? Louis
The air bags won't deploy unless the vehicle is running and moving forward at around 15mph-25mph. They won't trigger in reverse so if you were to chain the bumper to the tree and accelerate in reverse they wouldn't deploy. I have done this on occasion but I prefer the slow regulated pull of the come along. I have done cars with and without airbags that were deployed in the accident(this one didn't have them deployed).
I've got an off-topic question. I've got a '05 Tahoe and I was wondering if that pickup's bumper and fascia will interchange? I want the tow hooks and my Tahoe doesn't have the cutouts for them. Another great, handy vid! Thanks!
4:50 Does it matter whether the come along is hooked backwards, as shown at the clip, or forwards? If so, is there an advantage if I hook the stationary part of the come along to the vehicle and the ratchet part of the come along to a tree or post for body straightening? If so, tell me. I want to learn.
A lot of these collision's pop the fuel pump shut off switch. peeps should know where to find it to be able to reset it. A neighbors car got rearended and they made it about 200 feet before it died. Called me and I reset it in 10 seconds and they drove it home..
Kept my vw on the road for another year after the front got smacked with a logging chain telephone pole floor it in reverse untill the wheels could turn again wasn't pretty but it got me through.
Whatever it takes. I couldn't pull the frame out with the simple come along on a small car so it was just like you did. It got progressively more aggressive until it straightened right out.
I hit a pole when backing up snow plowing and the back bumper is now higher. The tailgate now hits the bumper when it is down. It doesn't seen that it is pushed in just higher. How would I just lower it? Dodge Ram 2010. Chrome bumper.
I would hook a strap to the bumper and roll slowly forward with someone watching it. I would hook low on a tree and be really close so it pulls at a downward angle. Steady small jerks should suffice.
Just be careful buying wrecked cars. I recently bought a nice, low mileage Hyundai from a place called light hit resalers. U can only drive em around the lot but can be had for a decent price. I thought all I needed to do was replace a fender and headlight but I was way off. Ruined upper n lower control arm, strut, ball joints, tie rod end, axle shaft thing or whatever it's called, lol and several other parts. Paint to match my junkyard fender up cost a couple hundred bucks. After it was all said and done I could spent just a little more and got one without a rebuilt title that didn't require anything much at all. Small cars these days aren't built to take even a light hit. I learned the hard way why a light hit can total a new car out, lol.
Good point. A lot of these damaged car lots will do a quick sledge hammer and pull to make the damage look less severe. I've seen them put a good wheel from the opposite side on the impact corner and the spare on an opposing side and toss the damaged wheel. Expensive trucks will even have body work, bondo and paint work done to make the damage look minor on the online shopping sites.
I need help i got a toyota avalon 2005 limited addition i had a reck hit hard to where it bent my car frontend i could Barely open my driver door and my front end kind of came off but i put it back on to look normal in my driveway however now its shifting my hood will not open if i did open it be hard and would not go back ah im at a lose here because i can not tell my insurance about this can i tie it to a tree its not leeking but i noticed my air in my tires went down a little i believe it still starts but i need advice i allready know it will be totaled if i tell the insurance then they will trash my car and it has a nice system in it what should i do ?
You can't loose anything by chaining it to a tree and pulling it out. I've done a dozen neighbors and family members car with these methods and they all went on to last for years. The majority of the damage comes out in 10 minutes with the final finesse taking an hour or two. Just depends on how straight you want to get it to how much time it takes.
Thumbnail shows a typical car that I do these procedures to. I've done worse than pictured with excellent results and have went as far as repainting the car. The thumbnail picture would take me around 2-3 hours and it would look 85% as good as new without replacing any sheet metal.
@@sixtyfiveford Thanks for the reply, I get it now, I watch all your videos and have to say your the realest guy on TH-cam, love your style of content, thanks!
They won't deploy unless the car is running and moving at around 10-15 mph. Some say they won't deploy if the car is running in reverse at any speed also. I had a bent frame I pulled out years ago by reversing with a chain hooked to a tree and frame. I progressively did it harder and harder until it straightened right out. I disconnected the airbags as a precaution.
Hello I just got hit like this video but the body is good it the radiator that got push in close to the engine. Is it OK to ride it to the shop???? Please hit me bk up asap thanks
"I may have pulled this side to far but that's okay, ill just go rear end somebody else" I could not stop laughing at this. He said it like it was a legit method of correcting his mistake. Effin gold.
same ahahahahaha i came here to quote it as well lolololol
Well done. I don't think I've ever seen body work done with a come-along, a tree and a sledge. Next time try to include a chainsaw or a post hole digger. That'd be impressive.
Now you're talking..... I have a chainsaw winch and I could spread the body panels apart with the post hold digger.
If you have never used a come-a-long, tree,or sledge,.you just aint right 🤣

Great Story.
‘Nearly weekly’ makes me think it was more than once a week 😂, as in ‘only weekly’ woulda been an upgrade. Thanks for sharing.

instead of hammering the protruding high rises in the chrome bumper, just use a old C-clap and some heat.
awesome video !!
1000 thumbs up !!
"Thats ok ill just go rear end somebody else" Man lol.
Thanks Dale. -Moe
Good job, as a old Utah farm boy I have done quite a bit of this myself. I sure like your site.👍
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Another good one. We sure could use a guy like you in my neighborhood. Thanks.
Hey Thanks.
Even the dog got amped up when the sledgehammer came out. 🤣
When you're swinging a sledge hammer at a car everyone/dog wants a turn.
Sure wish you were my neighbor right now! Smashed 2006 Toyota Sienna, front driver side. Three weeks sitting in my driveway. Breaking my heart!
Love it. Always great videos and I learn a ton. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Robert. -Moe

Very resourceful, with a good sense of humor, women love that combo,lol, another good vid!
You never cease to Amaze me! This is incredible! GREAT work. 👍
Thanks Jay. -Moe.
Dislikes from auto body shops
Excellent vid
Good one.
I tried this but the tree fell on the car and caused even more damage...……...jk
your dog wanted in on that sledge hammer action.
Yeah, that's always the fear.
Man I wish I knew someone like you. Someone told me about the chain and the tree approach but I was skeptical.
This is an example of how striving for perfection is always the enemy of "good enough."
Good job on the rig sff, like it! I did a Chev Cavalier for myself few years ago and saved a bundle, ran it into the ground. Nothing wrong with saving a buck or two eh.Great video!
Awesome.
I used a winch that i mounted to a bar i made so i can hook winch to anything. and it was phenomenally easy to pull my damage out
This is how I get all my plow trucks. Insurance companies just write-off these vehicles.
Video Title- "Don't be skeerd". Thank you for a GREAT one! That was cool.
Good one.
Most people will never know the sense of accomplishment that comes with keeping a vehicle in service with a sledgehammer and paint spray bombs....
Very true.

He's the best fucking educational video I've ever seen.
Man. This video is gold. 8:25 is how I feel during a lot of my normal repairs, not body work. This is what I imagine doing.
Did something similar but in the back on my VW, after cashing the insurance check...drove it for 2 years all over the country like that.

Not going to lie. I came for the video, and I stayed for the dog
All Fords wanna take a sledge hammer to a Chevy. Thanks SixtyfiveFORD.
You got that right.
Facts! I
All you had to do was run the dash cam in reverse. ;)
Done. That was actually me hitting a guy as a few years back. He got out, said don't worry about it. We shook hands and both went our own ways.

Local classifieds may yield someone doing this. Look for a Mechanic vs Autobody guy.
Wow... Looks almost like it was Never Wrecked... Great Video...
People driving down the street must think your crazy sledge hammering a bumper. lol
Yes, they do.
I had an early first-generation model Corolla Tercel that got rear-ended hard by a woman tourist in Miami that pushed me through an intersection and crunched the rear end against the rear wheel.

That's a fantastic story. Not every car can be saved but a mass majority I think could easily be with a little ingenuity.
Slowly and carefully pulled back out, Bumper 0 - Tree 1 lol.
People do have a bad habit of slamming the ankers on without warning because they judged something wrong.
When i used to drive a motorbike i stayed 2 car lengths away from the pillock in front of me lol.
That was excellent. Thank you.
Hey Thanks for watching.
@@sixtyfiveford you are welcome
Ouch 😮 that poor Chevy. Glad you did that truck a favor 😀😃😄😁
Yes. The neighbours love you too. :-)
Have to be nice the neighbors.
I have drove right offs for years. I buy popular makes IE: Dodge Caravans, Ford f150 and buy two of the same make one good one. I'm driving a 2014 ford f150 4x4 4 door with 58000 kilometers (Canada) and have $2700.00 into it. I still have the other truck for parts. In a few cold winter days in a nice warm shop your on the road. Who needs those easy monthly payments.
That's awesome.
Imagine looking out your window and seeing ur neighbor going ham on the front of a Chevy with a sledgehammer 😂
I think the tree says “oh man...” every time a dented car shows up at your house
It tried to revolt and dropped a branch on my truck a few weeks ago.
Neighbors like you make me want to move to Utah.
Hey Thanks.
Then move you fucking pussy 🤗
Can you help me with an issue on the passenger side upper fender to bumper metal frame that has been cut out of my 2010 Chrysler 300?
If so how do I send you photos?
Louis
Turned out great-- I'd drive it!
The owner was ecstatic.
Might want to mention you should disconnect the battery and definitely don’t have the ignition switch on one snack at the sledgehammer
For the air bag ? I'm pretty sure that got deployed by the crash, but fair call yeah.
The air bags won't deploy unless the vehicle is running and moving forward at around 15mph-25mph. They won't trigger in reverse so if you were to chain the bumper to the tree and accelerate in reverse they wouldn't deploy. I have done this on occasion but I prefer the slow regulated pull of the come along. I have done cars with and without airbags that were deployed in the accident(this one didn't have them deployed).
@@sixtyfiveford Thanks for the info. Guess I was misinformed or things have changed over the years.
I would say more likely you are correct I do know if you turn the orc module upside down with the key on it will deploy the curtains
Good video brother
Hey Thanks for watching.
sixtyfiveford I have a 2016 Ford Fusion . Hood has been pushed up toward the cab and can’t open the hood. What’s your recommendation ? Come along?
Absolutely. Hoods are super weak and you could also tie a chain or rope to another car and pull slowly.
I've got an off-topic question. I've got a '05 Tahoe and I was wondering if that pickup's bumper and fascia will interchange? I want the tow hooks and my Tahoe doesn't have the cutouts for them. Another great, handy vid! Thanks!
I would think they're interchangeable but I have no confirmation of this.
@Keith Clark thanks!
Total Wizard Level Hack Man. You R da MAN! I was thinking just hit the tree, but rear ending someone else? GENIUS!
You meet the nicest people when you bump into random people.
Pretty good fix.
Hey Thanks.
Aren't you suppose to be fixing the bumper reinforcement? Sorry for my stupid question.
4:50 Does it matter whether the come along is hooked backwards, as shown at the clip, or forwards? If so, is there an advantage if I hook the stationary part of the come along to the vehicle and the ratchet part of the come along to a tree or post for body straightening? If so, tell me. I want to learn.
That "came along" very well
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
great video! saved me money for sure
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Man really made perfect body line wacking by hammer. Bro is fckn Michel Angelo.
Hey sixtyfiveford rear ended a dump truck at 10kmh with in the corner pretty serious damage ahaha
A lot of these collision's pop the fuel pump shut off switch. peeps should know where to find it to be able to reset it. A neighbors car got rearended and they made it about 200 feet before it died. Called me and I reset it in 10 seconds and they drove it home..
Very true. I've popped the shut off switch from doing simple donuts in the snow.
Where is it?
@@binnsbrian It's usually in the trunk, on the side, behind a cover. But check your owner's manual (check the index for fuel cut off switch).
@@NickHorvath Thanks. It's a Ran truck. I'll check the manual.
Thank you
Doggie was like, get it get it
thanks man!
Thanks Martin. -Moe
Kept my vw on the road for another year after the front got smacked with a logging chain telephone pole floor it in reverse untill the wheels could turn again wasn't pretty but it got me through.
Whatever it takes. I couldn't pull the frame out with the simple come along on a small car so it was just like you did. It got progressively more aggressive until it straightened right out.
Hey could you help me out on what parts I would need to fix front end damage?
What tool were you using for the frame pull?
"Come along" or also called a "hand cable winch"
where you located at, I need you as my neighbor LOL
This is not the car in the thumbnail, lol

You are a handy mang
Thanks
lol! At 6:30
I hit a pole when backing up snow plowing and the back bumper is now higher. The tailgate now hits the bumper when it is down. It doesn't seen that it is pushed in just higher. How would I just lower it? Dodge Ram 2010. Chrome bumper.
I would hook a strap to the bumper and roll slowly forward with someone watching it. I would hook low on a tree and be really close so it pulls at a downward angle. Steady small jerks should suffice.
Not a bad job for an afternoon and no parts required.
The neighbor was ecstatic.
If it is 4wd, engage 4 Low then shut off and the transfer case will lock up and so all 4 tires will have traction too not just the rears.
True.
Just be careful buying wrecked cars. I recently bought a nice, low mileage Hyundai from a place called light hit resalers. U can only drive em around the lot but can be had for a decent price. I thought all I needed to do was replace a fender and headlight but I was way off. Ruined upper n lower control arm, strut, ball joints, tie rod end, axle shaft thing or whatever it's called, lol and several other parts. Paint to match my junkyard fender up cost a couple hundred bucks. After it was all said and done I could spent just a little more and got one without a rebuilt title that didn't require anything much at all. Small cars these days aren't built to take even a light hit. I learned the hard way why a light hit can total a new car out, lol.
Good point. A lot of these damaged car lots will do a quick sledge hammer and pull to make the damage look less severe. I've seen them put a good wheel from the opposite side on the impact corner and the spare on an opposing side and toss the damaged wheel. Expensive trucks will even have body work, bondo and paint work done to make the damage look minor on the online shopping sites.
I need help i got a toyota avalon 2005 limited addition i had a reck hit hard to where it bent my car frontend i could Barely open my driver door and my front end kind of came off but i put it back on to look normal in my driveway however now its shifting my hood will not open if i did open it be hard and would not go back ah im at a lose here because i can not tell my insurance about this can i tie it to a tree its not leeking but i noticed my air in my tires went down a little i believe it still starts but i need advice i allready know it will be totaled if i tell the insurance then they will trash my car and it has a nice system in it what should i do ?
You can't loose anything by chaining it to a tree and pulling it out. I've done a dozen neighbors and family members car with these methods and they all went on to last for years. The majority of the damage comes out in 10 minutes with the final finesse taking an hour or two. Just depends on how straight you want to get it to how much time it takes.
I use a loging chain an a telephone pole some times a come along
A/C condenser’s aren’t as ridged as radiators.
Also, the plastic caps don’t help.
im so confused, is this a repair video?
Great video man but little bummed with the thumbnail picture
Thumbnail shows a typical car that I do these procedures to. I've done worse than pictured with excellent results and have went as far as repainting the car. The thumbnail picture would take me around 2-3 hours and it would look 85% as good as new without replacing any sheet metal.
@@sixtyfiveford Thanks for the reply, I get it now, I watch all your videos and have to say your the realest guy on TH-cam, love your style of content, thanks!
Question. If good hook broke in crash how to fix ?
Hook to other areas. I have a more detailed video here: th-cam.com/video/-jpIku77MRw/w-d-xo.html
Legendary
My Honda needs a lot more than that to get it back on the road.
Just a tiny bit.
Had one of those looked just like that twice that employee is gone
Yeah, no one wants those employees.
After hitting the car with a huge hammer he had the nerve to say "near perfect" 😁
Should you be worried about the airbags?
They won't deploy unless the car is running and moving at around 10-15 mph. Some say they won't deploy if the car is running in reverse at any speed also. I had a bent frame I pulled out years ago by reversing with a chain hooked to a tree and frame. I progressively did it harder and harder until it straightened right out. I disconnected the airbags as a precaution.
Please Anwar as fast as u can . I need ur help. U think it worth fixing????
What's up
Cool
What would I do if my frame is pushed in
You do this th-cam.com/video/-jpIku77MRw/w-d-xo.html
Rear ended someone and now im just full of regret even though dude suddenly slamed brakes
Hello I just got hit like this video but the body is good it the radiator that got push in close to the engine. Is it OK to ride it to the shop???? Please hit me bk up asap thanks
If it just pushed the radiator into the engine. That's generally a pretty easy fix.
I had to do this before on a coworkers car.
But instead of using a power puller I used a telephone pole and put the car in reverse 😈
It worked.
