I also had issues with the tube and tried many options listed above, what worked for me was a brake spring tool I had in my box:

Trying to figure how the bolt tool would not work and already sweating to death outside today. Porsche is still in the air so I thought I may try the tool again... Sorry kind of hard when you have to hold the camera too.


I think the trick is making sure the washer is beyond the bottom of the tube and putting the bolt at a angle so it will grab the bottom edge of the tube as well.



the washer also needs to slightly smaller than 0.95 inch 0.90 shoulf be good.
