Must say I have seen the early clutch break, more the later version ,anyway the tool is part number 575251401 .

Would you say Andrew that the earlier clutch design is a stronger unit ?

No mate, the later clutch is more robust, however the shoes will crack if you strike them at the wrong angle, there is even a drawing of the angle you should hold the screw driver before striking it, so I now always use the tool to be on the safe side.

I have seen a clutch lose the small shoe retention lip on the central boss and allowed one of the shoes to bore a hole in the clutch cover!

Not too good at the time. 

Best use a boss tool rather than belting a clutch with a hammer and drift IMO.
