You don't really need a pic, just set the thing up with the handle horizontal and rest it against the inside wall of the transmission casing.
Its really simple, I managed to work it out so it absolutely can't be difficult. ;)
Not a regular job anyway, just once every 15,000 miles.

Looks like good tool. Nice and cheap as well. You wouldn't want to spend a fortune for a tool that gets used once every 3 years.

When I bought it I was sceptical about whether it would be strong enough, but its definitely up to the job :)
I bought it on the high street because I was in a hurry so paid more than that Amazon link :(
It will be used for another belt in 15 months of commuting.
54 mile round trip every time I go to work.
Should come in handy for plumbing jobs around the house as well.

As the housing moves the whole thing tightens up.
This is what I bought this afternoon, worked an absolute treat.
The particular version I got was one of these.
First take the variator off.
Next fit the strap wrench round the clutch bell and pop the handle inside the casing to hold it in place.
This leaves both hands free to work on getting the nut undone.

Cheers you you, the winning suggestion!
Have a gold star.

That's the same as mine I'm sure. I think I paid about £10 - £12ish for mine. As long as it works it is worth it
