I have red and green handled pin spanners, unless the yellow is substantially bigger I don't think it will work. Good idea on the two pin freewheel tool. I found a Park PR2, the tangs are the right distance apart but a millifrag too big, and the hole through the middle too small to accommodate the BB spindle. Worst comes to worst I could butcher that I guess.

Have a look at your discount motoring emporium, pretty sure I found something roughly suitable for small change BITD...

I have a couple and as well as their original, supplied rigid pin spanners I also own a 'Universal' adjustable pin spanner in my arsenal. Seeing as the actual pin diameter & spacingfor your purpose isn't crucial, I'd figure something like this would do the job just as well.
You may already have one of these which potentially may do the job, depending on the size.
Otherwise...
(links through to an example on Fleabay - $AUD 7.50 incl P+P) Bunnings etc have them.
Hit me up via the BNA dm; I'll get an alert. If y'know, you know.

Thanks, this has really become an "In The Shed" topic now Anyway the adjustable angle grinder spanner (that I already had ) worked, or is working... I can't believe how stiff the cup is, everything else on this bike has come apart really easily.HappyHumber wrote:Do you own an angle grinder, Rob?

It's all a trade off of precision & part preservation I suppose.
