Recently I had a VERY stuck variator nut. Just wouldn't budge even with an impact wrench, mainly because I couldn't hold the variator flange that has the teeth for the starter on it from turning. Usually I used a strap wrench but this time I didn't have any luck as it just spun inside the wrench. Looking for a different tool I happened upon my Harbor Freight auto oil filter wrench. It has teeth that bite into your filter and makes removal easy. Just by chance, it fit my variators teeth perfectly. I clamped down on it and nut spun right off. Just thought I'd pass this along. Also, HF currently has it on sale.
