Abstract
A cutting and pulling tool has a piston responsive to flow therethrough with an orifice to create backpressure to drive the piston uphole to rotate the blades outwardly such as in an expanded section of tubular below a transition from a smaller tubular dimension. The extended cutters are pulled to the transition and an overpull determines that the desired location has been reached. The overpull force is removed and fluid flow and rotation is commenced to cut. The blades extend to a position perpendicular to the tool axis so that they are supported off a radial housing surface as the weight of the cut string above is supported on the blades. The string is pulled up and supported with slips on a rig floor at which point weight is slacked off and a plug is landed in the top of the piston to push it down to remove the tool.
