The blunt end pushes against the block while the threaded end pulls the shieve off. You have to pull the engine anyway. A new shieve will cost you twice that, if you can find one.

I'm in no way trying to knock anyone but $45 for a long bolt
Surely there is something available from a decent hardware store for a fraction of that price. A specialist would get value from such a device but not a home hobbyist.
