Check valve removal tool

I am making a special purpose valve out of the body of a check valve but first I needed to remove the keeper to get the plunger out
to do this I used a hardened bolt by sawing off the thread drilled into the end with a 5/16' bit then filed 3 slots to fit the threaded retainer
