I have to replace some low retaining walls. The wood is easy because its

Any magical solutions? I thought of an auto jack, but don't see how to grip
the bars.
Driving them in rather than reusing them is a solution, but driving them a
foot into shale is a real chore!




Wrap a chain around the bar. Pull the chain up with a jack, or wrap the
chain over an old steel wheel and tie it to a bumper or trailer hitch or
come-along.
