That would be clever on the part of that mechanic, using the park driver with integral handle for convenience in use (or to restore damaged threading).
The Stronglight puller would have only had to be drilled and tapped to a common 9/16x18tpi ("9/16 NF") for the
early Park handle to fit.
This might be the best answer for the OP (pontius) if a Park tool is perhaps already at hand, AND if the OP has some machining experience (plus the drill press, drill bit, cutting fluid/oil, goggles and tap handle that will also be needed).
But I would prefer using the stronger,
finer-threaded (24tpi) handle/driver from one of the later Park tools
if I could also find a 9/16x24tpi ("9/16 NEF") tap without too much searching or expense. See below:
