use the poor mans method.... drop it onto the floor & lift the shell over the top.

failing that, ring a local tool hire shop.

a few off my mates chiped in on one from tool mart i think cant remeber how much they paid between the 3 but it worked out cheaper than renting one. its pretty much had none stop use since aswell!
