Using the DA puller I've removed some absolutely hopeless looking Reginas, and I mean hopeless.
That was so common an occurrence for a while that I made up a long 10-32 bolt to use instead of the skewer to hold the puller in place. It occurs to me now that mod'ing the puller to allow a stepped nut to grab the end of the axle threads would have been a superior solution. The real comfort is knowing that the chances that I'd need such a thing again is banging right around zero.
