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.

And rip off half of your rear strut if it's a bit flaky.....

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... 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.

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.
