Default Top wing removal tool

Where is the best place to get the upper wing removal tool? I looked on ebay a few times and haven seen one. Anybody got one to sell or anybody around the Orlando area that could loan me one? I have a GT2 upper wing coming next week and sure would like to be able to get it on there.
Thanks

Looks like the wrench you use to remove a beer tap faucet.

I tried one of those cheap rubber strap wrenches i had in the tool box last night and it worked at least on the one side I tried it on. Now all I need is the wing to be delivered and borrow my neighbors 14mm hex socket.

It is not a socket...just a 14mm allen wrench.

Its a knock off CF ebay wing. The price was right and others on 6speed seemed to have pretty good luck with them Its the GT2 style. I am hoping it shows up today. I havent decided on the wheels yet. I am thinking of getting the stock twist painted. I will need new tires in a couple of months so will do it then probably. The engineering/survey business is about dead around here so dont want to get to many mods on the checkbook right now
