[CAUT] Bridge pin removal

[jack houweling]

Greg, Fred,
Here is a bridge pin remover I made.  Easy enough for anyone to make. First 
insert a threaded rod to fit the vise grips. I then put a metal sleeve 
around the threaded rod, this will make it easier for the weight to slide 
and is gentler on the hands. Then ad a couple washers and nuts. Works fine.
