Take a large enough flat screwdriver and file out the middle=
 portion to make the correct shape...

Subject: Nose Bolts

I'm working on a piano that has smallish nuts that snug the plate=
 to the nose bolts. They are about 3/4-inch in diameter and have=
 a screwdriver slot across the center. You cannot use a=
 screwdriver though because the nosebolt extends up through the=
 nut. Clearly, the ideal tool to tighten them would be a large=
 version of the supply-house tool made for smaller versions of=
 these types of nuts like you would find on the key hold-down=
 rail (what is that thing called?). Does any such tool exist? Has=
 anyone made such a tool? What do others use to drive these=
 nuts?
 
As always, they have been partially mangled by others using=
 poorly improvised tools. I will be refinishing them and the=
 plate and wish to do things properly. Any ideas? Thanks.
