Tools for Doing Pre Key Mod

I have read info on several boards and elsewhere on the net.

Some say they used a heavy duty C-Clamp with the flat plate removed. Comments said it was scary and some had problems with it coming off.

Some say they used a bottle jack but it was scary and outright dangerous.

Some have used two jaw pullers and those comments were it was scary.

I have found two tools for doing this. I will post links to them below. What experiences have you had and what tools did you use? What were your experiences and was it scary the way you did it?

Thanks

I used a bottle jack. It was anything but scary. Easiest way to do it in my opinion.

Patience is the best tool.
