Yep good sphere removal tool, especially for the price. A few of us on the forum have this one from the same seller and it will shift even the most stubborn sphere.

I also have one of these. It's still in my toolbag despite me not having had a Xantia for over a year.

Yes, and ever since that happened to you its made me somewhat paranoid about the same thing happening to me next time... :twisted: Before that it never even occurred to me that it could happen... :?

And then there is the guilt that you were using my removal tool and I was watching when it happened. :oops: :lol:

For years I used a strap wrench made from motorcycle chain, I have always managed eventually to remove the spheres but not without difficulty. I bought one of these removal tools and its brilliant because it grips the sphere tight so you can hit it with a hammer and shock the brute loose - doesn't work with a strap wrench, to much give in it.
