I found that I could not jam the two nuts together tight enough to break the
nut in the master cylinder loose. It takes some considerable torque to get it
loose. If you have a welder you can weld a nut on the end of a bolt and then
you'd have a perfetcly good tool for cheap. But I don't have a welder.
