Ya gotta love Campagnolo. Even when they came up with something odd-ball they inventened a tool to work on it. This excludes Syncro which just sucked and is off topic anyway.

Actually, that's the cheapest Campagnolo tool you can buy, a LBS had them for $3. If you need it, I'll dig it up, mail it to you & just send it back when you're done.
