Thanks. > >Terry Farrell The correct tool for this is, I believe, a spanner wrench. But you might not want to spend the money on one of those. Screwdrivers that big are hard to find (and not cheap). Seems a shame to waste one. Take a piece of steel plate of the correct thickness to fit in the slot in the grooved nut, and of width equal or greater than the diameter of the nut. With a cutoff wheel in a right angle grinder cut a slot slightly wider than the diameter of the nose bolt. Clamp in a vise-grip and use as a wrench. Phil Ford
