Alternative to Park DT-5.2

Need to face the flat mount rear brake caliper mounts, Frame is a Spesh Aethos. Can’t get the 5.2 setup to establish parallelism due to not enough space. If I get the cutter head setup aligned I can’t get the blue handle onto the post to turn the cutter.

Is ther another method?

I thought the design of the 5.2 was meant to solve this exact issue. Must be something about your frame design Park did not foresee.
Unless you actually have a 5 and not a 5.2.

Leave the handle off and turn the post with a drill extension.

Or warranty the frame.

You can turn it with a regular 6-point (as I've done in a pinch). I can't recall the size off-hand. 8mm? 10?

Bikes: Too many. Giant Trance X 29, Surly Midnight Special get the most time.
