i have never done it but does an angler grinder key fit?

10 minute job to make a tool for that,

piece of 1/8" plate, drill 2 holes correct distance apart, press/hammer/weld in 2 pins/bolts and scollop out in between to clear the shaft.

Tried it, doesn't fit.

I also went to a Ford Garage and they didn't even have a tool!

I made a tool for adjusting Mitsubishi Shogun front hubs by welding some pins onto a socket.
Alternatively, my brother made 2 by grinding a socket to form a Castle type tool to remove a Suzuki GSXR engine and swinging arm

I made a set of tools for taking outboard motors to pieces. They have similar fittings. I used pieces of tubes with 'castles' cut into them.

something like this either bought (ebay) or made

Ideally, you need to make a tool to fit it but alternatively you could use a punch or a screwdriver as a drift, provided you relieve the area where it's been punched. It shouldn't be screwed in too tight.
