Maybe Jethro forgot to take all the bolts out on that new fangled device..... tie a chain to the Edsel and lets give er' a good yank. ........I used to be co-owner in a shop – if anyone brought a "come-along" into the shop I'd probably fire them or get them drug tested. If you need a special tool, you either buy it or make it, you don't resort to fence-building farm equipment. Porsche has several tools in the category "shop made" which they expect the mechanic to fabricate (usually pretty simple devices, things like a bracket to hold a transmission or a tube to align a clutch plate.) If they need to build a puller to separate a transmission housing, they should get a fabricator to build the puller or jig. There's also the OSHA requirements to use correct tools and equipment and not have high tension mouse trap contraptions slinging 500lb transmission around the shop …
