Hi Gene,<div><br></div><div>Like others have suggested, there are many ways. I made a spanner out of a large screwdriver, cutting a slot in the middle of it. It's basically the same "fishtail" tool we make to remove broken agraffes, but in this case, we leave the ends flat. </div>

<div>You can make a screw driver as Joe suggested. But the way I used to remove these nuts is by gently tapping on one side of the nut with a small screw driver blade. Depending on how tight it is, determines the size of the hammer, and the force used to loosen it. </div>

Subject: [pianotech] is there a tool for this<br>

</div><div><div class="h5"><div style="font-size:12px;font-family:Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,Sans-Serif;margin:0px"><pre style="FONT-SIZE:9pt"><tt>Any ideas how to unscrew this?
Is there a tool made just for this?
Any home made tool designs someone might want to share?
Two #10 WNG bridge pins fit into each recess but will not budge it when I
turned them with a big crescent wrench.
Possibly some square steel rod that fit a bit better would be helpful.
Thanks,
Gene
