thanks miami, I have been trying to think of the company that made that tool for weeks.
Back in my shop days we had a 4 foot cheater bar!! If you work on alot of bike the Stein tool is well worth the money.

I've used my bench vice as well but on occasion the cup flats aren't thick enough for the vice to get a good grip on.

Good catch!!! Thats actualy a re-assembly pic. Upon re-assembly its crucial for the adjusting cup to be loose, it's tight and the fixed side is tightened down you'll crush the bearings.
