Talking Cluster pullers

I read people have had good luck with a hanger, but I tried for a least an hour and it would not come out. I hope I didn't damage anything inside during the process.

Thanks!
If you go to a paint store they should have the old school steel paint can openers. They look like a yield sign with small upturned hook at the end. You will need to file the hook/blade down a mill or two and you will be good to go. ohhh... and the bonus is, they have built in bottle opener in them to celebrate a job well done.
