And maybe even less than half *that*.  You don't actually need the tool
in many cases.  A good bit of rebar (trivially found at many construction
sites), a prybar, a heavy screwdriver, threaded rod, the trick is just to
get the thing out of its rim.  Specialized tools are for those who are
doing it every day.

I suspect that the person responsible did not go out and buy a hook, so
this may be pointless anyways.  :-)
