## Abstract

A windshield removal tool for removing a windshield from a vehicle may include a main plate having a large orifice and two smaller circular orifices extending therethrough; a pair of rotatable spools supported within a respective smaller orifice, such that the spools each extend outward from the top surface of the main plate; a handle mounted to the top surface of the main plate; a suction cup engaged with the large orifice, such that the suction cup extends outward from the bottom surface of the main plate; a clevis pin removably engaged with at least one of the rotatable spools; an adapter port extending into a top surface of each of the rotatable spools, the adapter port configured to removably accommodate insertion of an external tool therein, the external tool configured to rotate the spool; and a cord operatively attached to and extending between the spools.
