In lieu of a massive bearing-puller to remove the top-cap from the tapered shaft, we had to improvise.... a car-jack and some dyneema line did the trick eventually!

This is obviously not ideal, so one of the improvements I'm making to the Capstan is to thread some small holes in the cap and to fabricate a much smaller custom "puller" that we can keep on board.

I’ve seen the whole SAGA of that capstan, casting that NEW cap, and everything else! That capstan has had a lot of work go into it‼️
