i dont have one, but have used one before. If you can get a length of scaffold tube and a jack you can get the same results. either way your most likely going to damage the paint on the arch.

another alternative is something like a 35mm socket on a ratchet and use the jack.

just remember to apply mild heat to the paint whilst doing it to reduce the risk of the paint cracking.
