Received a replacement crank holder from IPD. Installed and did manage to loosen the 24mm crank bolt with effort. Unfortunately this crank holder deformed in an identical way - with the toothed "cup" twisting and the junction between the bar and cup.
The tool has been compromised and I can't trust it to finish the job. The timing belt looks good - no cracks, no damaged teeth. It's got some more life left in it. So, I tightened the bolt back up and will be returning this holder and buying the OEM tool from a dealer.
Very disappointing, but not entirely unexpected.
