I have a photo of the factory tool, but mine is MUCH simpler. I don't think the 
pulleys or fans would help much because they are really quite a bit smaller 
than the hole in the housing.

I just used a lathe to turn a sleeve that had a step in it. The small part JUST 
fits in the case, and the large part JUST fits in the fan housing.
