Thank you very much! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the clear instructions. This might be the best way to go about it. I was considering that I’d have to buy some expensive clamps l/vices and wood and hope that it’d work over time but you idea might be the best way to go about it.

I don’t need to fix this asap but the sooner the better. And if me saying that “pulling it with a car slowly” was the first and best idea I had right off the bat I don’t really know if I’ll come up with better the grips and 2x4.

Okay got you. So should I put two boards and then use two vice grips each or will that not be enough?

What do you mean by “it’d be heavy”

Just to make sure I understand what you saying 100% basically make the area flat with a think board so that when I go ham with a hammer it doesn’t dent the metal but should cause enough force to move it?

That’s exactly what I’m afraid of and seeing if anyone knows ways to fix this? It’s mounted into the cement below and into the roof above.

Thanks you again! This is the method I decided to go with. A bit of rotted wood feel from the top when it’s connected but nothing came loose so I’ll call it a win. I’m going to leave the board there for a chunk of time and then pop it out.
