The easiest way to remove any nose bolt nut, disk, acorn etc. is to hold it with your fingers while you turn the nosebolt down. Reverse for installation. The tool I use for the Chickering nuts is the proper size steel rod bent into a U or horse shoe shape that can be held with an adjustable wrench across the 2 legs of the U. Good luck!
