.Yes I was just in the middle of posting this Simon. I used it for the four corner spheres on my Xantia front and back, but not those "in the middle"... :)


...bit Heath Robinson but I can assure you it works, although in the more restricted access places a thinner bit of metal bar with a couple of holes drilled in it, for the bent threaded rod would be needed.

I've tried numerous sphere tools but for my money nothing beats a genuine Pleiades tool...

And for really tough ones.... A hammer and cold chisel is pretty unbeatable too :lol:

A second for Pleiades, I've used nothing else except for a strap wrench though which was usually adequate.

I wish I hadn't stumbled on this thread three years after the event I'd have had that tool in a heartbeat.
