10 minute job to make a tool for that,

piece of 1/8" plate, drill 2 holes correct distance apart, press/hammer/weld in 2 pins/bolts and scollop out in between to clear the shaft.

Tried it, doesn't fit.

I also went to a Ford Garage and they didn't even have a tool!

I made a tool for adjusting Mitsubishi Shogun front hubs by welding some pins onto a socket.
Alternatively, my brother made 2 by grinding a socket to form a Castle type tool to remove a Suzuki GSXR engine and swinging arm





Something about this, so very wrong.....I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn`t like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I made a set of tools for taking outboard motors to pieces. They have similar fittings. I used pieces of tubes with 'castles' cut into them.

Ideally, you need to make a tool to fit it but alternatively you could use a punch or a screwdriver as a drift, provided you relieve the area where it's been punched. It shouldn't be screwed in too tight.
