Pair of long nose pliers do the same trick to wind it back or ebay is your friend lol

Thanks stoney, seen the tool on ebay not pricey at £18.00 i suppose;) got plenty long nosers but was not sure how hard it might be to wind them in.

Very easy to do, just need to maintain some pressure on the cylinder as you wind it in, save yourself 18 quid

Steady pressure and don't use excessive force as Gizmo says
