How do i get a T-Post used for fencing out of the ground>?

I have several T-Posts that have shifted to a wrong angle...i am looking for a tool to help me get the T-Posts out without digging up the ground so i can put them back in in the correct angle to fix the fencing around the land...|||Use a old cat bumper jack if you can not pull them by hand. Attach a arope to the post and tie it to the jack.|||You can also use a long lever to ease them out. Clamp a block of wood firmly to the T-pots about 1ft. off the ground; position another block or blocks about 6%26quot; away from the post to act as a fulcrum; then placing you lever tip under the wood block clamped to the post and resting on the fulcrum pile, push down on the end. Post should ease out of the ground - no problem. If you are straining, perhaps your lever isn%26#039;t long enough, and you may need extra block to build up the fulcrum level. Sounds complicated , but very easy in practise. Best of luck.|||Use a jack to get the t-post out of the ground. Wrap a heavy duty chain around the jack and the knobs on the sides of the t-post, binding the chain as you jack and it will pull the post right out of the ground.|||we use a car jack around our place. Wrap some heavy duty wire around the post, using the nubs to keep the wire in place, and the other end of the wire around the head of the jack and start pumping.
