Need the tool for fitting the spider onto the drive side crank. Middleburn say a Shimano TL-UN96 is needed. Can't seem to get hold of one on-line. Spder is one the way so I can't check myself just now.
Will either of these do?

Looks like 17702 will do the job.
Otherwise:

I have a brand new one, still in the packaging, yours for £20.
I found it advisable to avoid cheap tools (especially allen keys!) so best get the right tool for the bodge. One of those things you will never need until you have one then you'll suddenly find you need it loads (see also: headset press)

If you are near Woking in Surrey you can pop round and use mine...
I paid less than a tenner for hte Icetoolz one and it's fine.
I've got an icetools one. Had to grind a bit off to make it fit on a triple spider but it was ok on an Uno 'as arrived'.
