Ok, got waylaid with other stuff......tried again.
Found reason why tool wasn't gripping properly, it wasn't inserted deep enough.
Length of tubular section on tool too long...!
I had tried it on the replacement pulley and it fitted fine, but on the existing one it didn't because there is a thick washer there !
Cut 8mm off tubular section on tool and now fits perfectly
Unfortunately bolt is bloody tight, even with 3/4 breaker bar and 4ft extension tube.
Worried about breaking something....probably me.
Will find blowtorch and try warming it up a bit....I'll be back
