Lock ring spanner

Has any one made their own lock ring spanner to take their wheels apart?

I am not much of a "fabricator" and i am terrible at welding.

Was thinking maybe some all thread bolted onto a piece of flat stock might work but I'm not sure how much torque these lock nuts might have.

The proper tool will cost about $40 which isn't much i know but i figured it might be fun to make my own tool.

Any suggestions or ideas?

Yes a pin spanner the workshop book called it a peg spanner so...

I figured an adjustable might work as well but wasn't sure on the pin size and many don't list the size.

I am heading down to the bike here soon and will double check if its a 3mm i might stop by the ole harbor freight and get something on the cheap.

I tried but it wasn't having any effect.

I have both wheels apart now (minus the front tire) so ill just take the bearing carrier in when i get a spanner (if i can find one).

The tires were a pain in the rear i couldn't get the bead to break so i had to cut the rear tire in half and get to where i can cut the metal bands in the bead area. I tried putting the front tire in my press to attempt to break the bead with no such luck so ill just take it to a local shop and have them do it.
