I'm replacing an ENVIOLO hub and need the ENVIOLO disk brake adapter tool.

Is there an alternate tool to remove the brake lock ring or a source to rent this tool? To purchase the tool cost $250.00!

That is crazy $$ for that tool! I had to look up what it does to justify that type of money and all it is are some pins, that are represented as dimples in the above pic, that fit into a lock ring that holds the disc brake adapter in place.

A specialized tool for sure that isn't useful for anything else I can think of nor relates to anything I know of in the bicycle realm. I would try a pin spanner like this:

Amazon.com

Would only grab two of the holes but if you are careful to wallow the holes out, you'll have three chances....., it should work and be alot cheaper!

Thank you for posting the pin spanner. I was trying to think of the name of the tool. I was thinking maybe getting at least 2 of them for the job. May take a couple of people to do it.

I actually found a guy on eBay that rents one for $30. He doesn't make much money at it. Basically does it as a public service. I think that's very generous of him.
