The best thing would be the right tool, but I've always used
a big ole screwdriver and a hammer, or a hammer and a socket
that is about the right size.

You shameless hussy, hockin' your lame ass warze on AMB.

Peace, Bill The mind serves properly as a window glass
rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give an
immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

When I had easy access to a shop I've used one.

But with what material should I start with? I've made
installers but they were easy. It seems you need the right
steel for the remover to work without breaking or crumbling.

I'd have to look at mine, but it is flared. I daresay a
little creative tweaking would push it out to OnepointFive
diameter if it didn't fit already.

The tool I always use is a three piece deal - me, mallet,
lump of 3x2. Apply brute finess. HTH.

Although I have the Park tool for this job, a peice of pipe,
preferably aluminum, cut two ways on a band saw would do the
same thing. It would be good for at least a couple uses
anyway, it doesn't take a lot of force it get the cups out.

Any mild steel ought to survive. Mild steel is easy to cut
with a hacksaw. I got a piece of EMT conduit about 0.9" OD
(costs a couple bucks for 10 feet, available at all home
improvement stores), and cut the flares. Works for both 1"
and 1-1/8", just adjust the flares by bending them in/out.

That's what I'm going to do as I need something easily
cuttable with a hacksaw.
