Tool mod

Sometimes you just need to make your own tool.
I didn't make this one, but it is exactly what I need. I own a slide hammer and a few vice-grips. I would change out the adjustment screw for a bolt that I can sacrifice to attach to the slide hammer. This way the tools are only modified temporarily and can be changed back.
I would like to attempt to pull the pinch weld down without tearing any holes in the metal.

After an experiment i realized you need the car way up in the air to use something like this and i do not have a lift.
