Or you can make your own with a piece of pipe that has an I.D. equal to
the I.D. of the nut measured inside the notches. Just take your loose
nut off, place it on the pipe and mark where the notches are with an
appropriate pen. Next cut down 1/4" or so at the ends of the marks with
a hacksaw. Then take pliers and bend the pieces until they break out.
Weld or have a shop weld a large washer and nut on the other end, and
you now have a "special nut tool" for way less than you can buy one for.
Thicker walled pipe works better.
