Diff excavated! And a new way to extand a gear puller

[rapieper at yahoo.com (Ron Pieper)]

Holy Huge Images, Batman!  What a Cheapass Classic!  Mind if I someday put that on my tranny
teardown site?  

Hell, I thought some Home Depot flat stock extensions were cheapass...but man, you take the cake!

But then again, I have been known to do certain jobs with rope (someone is bound to drag out a
particular old image, so I'm being pre-emptive).  

Nice work!
