Can anyone direct me to an outlet/operator that might sell this tool?
Preferably UK based.

Home made equivalents anyone?

I'm not sure what you're describing.

If you mean a tool to disassemble a Shimano freehub body to access the
smaller bearings and pawls (not to merely remove the body intact),
here's Sheldon on the issue:http://www.sheldonbrown.com/k7.html#aluminum
(scroll down just a tad). He says the tool is discontinued.

See also the photo at http://www.sheldonbrown.com/k7.html#transplant .
I'm assuming you want a tool to mate to what Sheldon labels as "Notch
for disassembling."

I made my own out of a piece of flat steel bar stock. Cut to length so
it's long enough to reach the notches on both sides. Then file the
bar's thickness to fit into the notches. Then mount newly created tool
in a vise, fit wheel to tool, and turn (left-hand thread IIRC, so the
cup unscrews rather than the freehub).

ps - Sheldon's right, it's not worth the trouble beyond curiosity. Once
the body is damaged enough to need repair, it's usually damaged /beyond/
repair and body replacement is called for.

Hope that helps,
