Rude text about vehicle's turn to pull out (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

extract

'pull out' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'rude text about vehicle's turn' is the wordplay.
'rude' is an anagram indicator.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'vehicle' becomes 'car' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'turn' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'car' back-to-front is 'rac'.
'text' anagrammed gives 'extt'.
'extt' enclosing 'rac' is 'EXTRACT'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for extract that I've seen before include "Determine the value of" , "Forcibly draw out" , "Clipping" , "Draw or pull out" , "Separate, in a mining sense" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
