The tool you are using also work perfect for me but only if it is fitted in vice.are you sure you are using the right bits to clamp the pipe chap? 3/16

I think with the tool you have got that will be the best option.

Success
i had to remove the pipe in the end.
There is a difference in the pipes on a S4 and S6. In general they are the same but the S6 uses a bigger union going into the ABS pump and is slightly longer (4-6")
The S4 pipe was copper so easy to flare an end onto. I still wanted to use the original pipe because it had the plastic coating. It wasn't so easy on the S6 pipe.
To start with the tool kept slipping, i ended up cutting it shorter so the plastic coating was being clamped. This still didn't work
In the end i heated the end of the pipe and then tried. That seemed to do the trick.
I managed to get it refitted and bleed up and so far haven't seen any leaks
The N/S pipe union is rounded so now i know i can flare it, i will be removing that one
