Here, I show you exactly how I easily remove old fence posts and their cement footings. This is a common repair that needs to be done when a post is rotted and the fence has blown over. This is a strategy I use to pull 4x4 fence posts out of the ground to replace the fence posts using a high lift-jack. It's a cheap and effective way to remove the fence post even if it is buried in hard, rocky, dirt. In order to repair the fence properly, the post and the cement footing need to be removed a new post needs to be installed with a cement footing.
