Anyone have a DuraAce Octalink BB tool??

Evening all,
The time has come for me to give in to the ravages of time and fit compact gearing on my road bike, but I've come up against a formidable opponent - I don't have the tool to remove the Dura Ace 7700 bottom bracket! I naively assumed it would be the standard internally splined one that has served me well over the year, but it looks as though I need an entirely bigger affair, with six external notches/prongs.

I only need the tool as a one-off to remove the BB forever, so don't particularly want to go out and buy so - so does anyone have one I could borrow for a day of two? Failing that, I guess I'm heading for the LBS!

Cheers,
Gareth.
 
Ok, I understand. Thanks anyway!

Is this tool any different to a normal lockring spanner? Is it same-but-a-bit-different, in time-honoured Dura-Ace/XTR manner?


Cheers, Gareth.
