I have been working on cars for over 45 years, I don't need anyone on a forum to tell me to use a proper tool. I used the exact same plastic tool inserted in the relief and the attachment lock tab broke off, it was beyond a snug fit on mine. BTW, people post pics on here every single day that don't belong to them, no reason for me to think it's your car.
