I dont think the clutches the same - there are more bolts on the FJ20 one holding it on than the CA18. Unless of course 2.0 litre one is off a CA20

i've found chopping a cheap spanner in half with an angle grinder does the trick nicely. the biggest pain is getting the water feed pipes away from the back of the head without bending them - you can try taking them off the turbo in situ but it's easier to disconnect them from the inlet side of the head.
