    What a great solution - the simple ones are always the best.
    Where did you get the 'toothed' section from?
    guess: split a ring gear from a flywheel, then heated and bent it?

      I cut it out of a 2" square plate washer, its amazing what you can do with an angle grinder and file...

            Glad I found this thread, I was thinking I was doing something wrong when the bolt in my locking tool won't reach the hole in the block!
            Bought tool as used off eBay-wondered why it looked so clean-previous owner couldn't have used it!
            Out with the grinder to get the bolt head off then ...

              We supported our tool with two large pieces of stone, we were tight on time and it worked well enough

                    Yes mate, I could drop it round and have a look over the avant
                    I'm working all weekend unfortunately but I could maybe get round in the evening?
