Can't help you with the tool, never used one. Just have someone hold the rear brake with the bike in gear.

That will work in the cam chest, but probably not in the primary. If you make a flat bar about 1/4" thick and 7 1/2" long with radiused ends it should work.

Thanks,i have a lot of flat stock around and hate to spend 35 bucks on another piece if i can make one. I guess i can't damage the sprockets if the tool is softer than them.
