    I want to make this tool, can someone who has this tool tell me how long the moment arm should be? That is the distance from the center of the 15mm hole to the center of the extension shaft? Picture credit: from ebay.

    Thanks,

    and from experience the baum tool is too thick in the box end, so it won't fit over the nut between the valve buckets. I had to grind off about 2mm from the bottom.
