Some on here have done that.That's what I did! Can't find the picture but nohing more than two stout flat bars about two feet long, both with a hole at each end. I used M6 bolts and nuts, three of each. One for a pivot at one end, one each at the other. No nuts on the two for the variator (front), nuts on the two so you can stick the heads in the clutch drum.
You don't have to hold this thing! The ends joined by at one bolt just rests on the floor. The "stout bar" dimensions are about 1/4" x 3/4" mild steel, cold rolled better but hot rolled just as well.

I'm English, but living on Greek islands.
I'm English too, but stuck in wet old Blighty! I envy you the dry weather as I well recall blatting around Greek islands on hired scooters & bikes when I was in my 20's. Funny how now I can't recall what I had for dinner last night...

Prices range from $12 up....
DoNOT put the tongs in the cooling fan 'blades' at the front!
These can and will break off.
If the tongs do not fit the 2 holes, file them down until they do.
Might be best to take a look at things with the belt cover off - to see what will work.

Technical | How To / variator locking tool
« Last post by mrmike on May 22, 2024, 01:12:08 PM » I'm getting ready to install some lighter Dr. Pulley sliders in my '23 People S 150i ABS scooter. I want to purchase a variator locking tool beforehand. I looked on Amazon, and the selection is endless. Can anyone recommend a tool that will fit to lock my variator?
