I took some brass tubing and filed a third on one side down an 1/8 inch and did the other side the same. I then filed the teeth left over to fit better into the slot. Hope you can follow that.
Is this the correct tool:

Realizing this is an old thread, but for what it's worth ......I just use a caefully manipulated pair of needle nose pliers. Works fine.
