Default Questions on Inboard Spindle Nut J-line Lathe

I think he needs the hook spanner wrench as shown on the bottom of the
page Biill Noble linked to, and as I said those nuts are used very
often in pairs, to lock them here they used a lock washer/ring, the
cutouts in the nut/ring are square, mind you the marten tool could
probably be used in a pinch ;-))

have fun and take care

Da - didn't read well enough *- that was a pin wrench - do *you have holes ?

If you don't have holes, then a flat one is needed. *Perhaps you can find
a quick one at the Dollar store... * those flat cheap punch out wrenches
are useful from time to time.

If there are holes in the flats then the wrench is it.

Glad you got the nut off.

My nut is just knurled for hand tightening. *The nut on the outboard (left hand)
was lost in moving 40 or 50 years ago. *Such is life.

Thanks to all. *I didn't realize there was a lock washer I needed to bend
the tab down on. *Once I did that I was able to get it off. *Thanks for the
tip on the tool as well. *Thanks!

Curious if anyone having a J-line knows where to get a wrench that will

take
off the nut on the inboard spindle. *It looks like it requires some kind

of
spanner wrench. *There are four square slots cut in the nut around the

edge.
A standard wrench will obvisouly not work. *This may be a very common type
of nut but I have not seen one before. *If anyone has a source for

ordering
the wrench or knows what its called please let me know. *Thanks!
