Hi mate, yeah I welded around the lobes on my locking tool to reenforce it,unfortunately never got to finding out if it was good enough as the bolt rounded 😂 thank you for confirming the genuine part being INA, awaiting my INA one to  come so I can then drill the bolt out, replace adjuster and rings again and fingers crossed be job done 👌🏻 it’s all fun and games isn’t it 😂

My bolt rounded too  :sad1:

The other way to deal with this is time up the engine, remove the cambelt and then loosen the cam carrier so the camshaft can be moved. This'll release the chain.
