I have the tool I'd let go for half what they normally run tyd. If you're interested let me know. Or if you're near Jacksonville, FL and want to just borrow it you're welcome to do that as well.

The plier trick works great!

I use two small flat head screw drivers and bigger one run between the two to make a H if you will to turn the nut.  Kind of a PIA, but works for me.  Getting the nut to thread back on is a different story.
