Subject: [CR]Campy Freewheel Tool Questions

Hello, Listmembers,

I have what I think to be a Campy freewheel tool. It looks like the tool in this auction:

http://ebay.com/<blah> Ebay Item # 7208619492

However, the tool I have will not work on Campy freewheels. The black metal insert will not fit the slots on a Campy or any other brand of freewheel. What do I have? Do I need another insert? I believe this insert may be used to assemble and disassemble the freewheel. Are simple (like the ones I have for Regina, Suntour, Shimano, Atom, etc) freewheel tools available for Campy freewheels?

I found this .PDF scan of the manual for Campy freewheels in the archives. Unfortunately, I'm still confused. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
