Here's the very rare Campy headset tool with the sliding jaws open and closed.
Expensive overkill tool for a stupid design part....

Wow, that's an impressive bit of over engineering for a basic pin spanner! I've never seen that campy tool before. Thanks for posting.
I remember the VAR tool well. That's what I would have grabbed. Seems like there was a Park pin spanner that worked for this too, but I can't recall the color.
At any rate, I'm sure it would come off with enough hand pressure. A tool is only useful for tightening it back against the locknut when readjusting after it's put back together. Some music wire, a torch, vise, and a grinder would be sufficient to improvise a tool in about 5 minutes.
