1" width bar, bends are about 2" or so. The 4' flat bar is cut in half for the two pieces of the tool.
It is long, ungainly, and awkward to use. However, you can use the tool without removing the RH case cover, you can just remove the clutch cover and be done.
Another trick is to rivet the plates together instead of pliers, although I do like the simplicity of the pliers. You can probably wedge the pliers against the foot pedal so you don't have to wedge a penny between the gears. I'm a bit leery jamming a penny in there, it puts loads on the bearings that aren't part of the design. I'm a bit of a conservative worry-wart, though.
