I understand it...........but never accomplished it..........because I'm down by the crankshaft trying to "feel" the engagement at the IP..........never going to happen.

I don't understand why the tool cannot have a deep slot in it.......about 3X deeper than the current "screwdriver" slot.

Agreed.............trying to judge it by feel is a nightmare.
