Hi

I don't know what car you have, but mine looks like a pipe with a nut shape at the end, then you have to connectt another screwdriver type thing to it (to turn)

I'm not the only mechanical numpty here! Woo-hoo!
Is it not a steel tube about a foot long with a socket at one end and a hole across it's diameter at the other? There may be a cross-piece that go throws the hole to create a lever.
