Cyclo freewheel removal
Trying to remove a 5-speed French Cyclo freewheel from a hub and the Park Tools 2-prong remover has the prongs set at too small a diameter to work. Can anyone point me to a tool that will definitely work with this freewheel?
As a reference, the Park Tools remover measures about 25mm from outside to outside on the prongs. I figure 25mm inside to inside would work.
I did find this on ebay, and have asked for clarification on the spacing of the prongs:

If I remember I can check my Sutherland's when I get home. I think they list the specs on some removal tools.
Alternatively, I think someone has posted a PDF of Sutherland's someplace.

Sutherland's lists the VAR 188 tool or the Cyclo DR.64 for removing a French Cyclo freewheel. Here's the VeloBase entry for the VAR:

I think I have that one, Patrick, if you can wait until I see you on LI. Alternatively, I can pop it in the mail now and you can give it back to me when we meet up.

Found an image in Stronglight's flickr photostream that does a great job of illustrating the difference:

Getting warmer! Anyone in Sparta have one? 
I might even be willing to visit your place Tom, at your convenience. Called a couple LBS's around here, but no dice. The ones most likely to have it are pretty far away.
BTW, I truly appreciate the offers to bring it to the LI century, but I don't want to burden anyone with an extra thing to remember or the risk of losing it in transit.

It's really no trouble.
And you're welcome to visit. Got plenty of stuff for you to go through, too. I work at home, so I'm here most of the time.

I've got this Dura ace puller as I seem to remember it works on cyclo's but I could be wrong. It measures 22 mm inside dimension across posts and has a ring on the outside which engages the ring on a cyclo from what I remember. Your welcome to borrow it if you think it will work.

I just looked, and I don't see my Cyclo remover. :-( I'll bring my collection anyway.
