Well if you can get one for 100 bucks it might not be a bad investment because then general go from more than that new on line. It would not be a bad addition to tool box and you may becomes others "best friend" because they want to borrow/use tool. You could even buy it and probably resell it on Ebay for close to what you have in it so you will not be stuck with it either. When you mess with Tbars you want a proper tool in good order anyway.

Do not take chances here. The energy in those bars can do a lot of damage if they get away from tool.

You can't get one from Auto Zone? They rent a lot of specialty tools where I come from.

I've used a 3-jaw gear puller in place of a t-bar puller before, same difference.
Or, you do go this route. Back the adjuster bolt all the way out, remove the front tire, support the lower arm, remove the upper a-arm from the spindle, lower the arm all the way down. This will take the pressure off the bar too and it will slide right out with out the tool.
