Freelander 1 Custom tool for removing HP fuel pump

My high pressure fuel pump sprung a leak recently. After some searching on this forum and YouTube, I found out a special tool was needed (part number 12-178 I believe).
The parts didn't look too complicated so I decided to make it myself.
I eyeballed most of the dimensions but as for the threads I borrowed a gear sprocket from a seized engine to get the thread size.
For anyone who might be interested in making their own. The outside sleeve thread is M40x1.5 and the inside sleeve thread is M30x1.5

Well done . . . . . I simply bought one on Amazon for << £20

My local dealer wanted 75 euro

At least he has a sense of humour ...

Nice bit of engineering, but as they cost about £25 to buy, it wouldn't be worth my time making one.

Yeah normally I'd be the same. But local dealer quoted 75 euro for it and buying one online had a 2 - 3 week delivery. I was just impatient
