How to pull a deep well submersible pump
Turn off power to the pump.
Make sure everything is good and strong; a mistake here cannot only make your pump unsalvageable, it can cost you life or limb.
Mount a hand-crank winch in such a way as to lift the pump out partway.

Available options:
(1). This will raise the hand-crank quickly to create slack. You will need to climb to the top instead of just sitting beneath the hand crank so you aren't tempted to split into two parts to connect (lifting a hand crank off the ground)..
(2). Hook the winch to the flange that connects flexible pipe to the storage or pressure tank. Winch the pump so that there's a few feet of the flexible pipe outside the casing..
(3). Locate the pump (or, possibly, detach the winch motor). Set a pickup rate of at least 100f (40c) on the winch motor..
(4). Lower the post on the front of the hand-crank winch in that direction. You can determine the regularity by tugging on the hand-crank winch at both sides..
(2).
