Putting the spindle back into the quill of my Smithy.

The spindle bearings are retained & adjusted by a round nut, about 1-3/4
diameter, with four 1/4" (well, probably 5mm) slots. If I were in a
bike shop I'd grab a headset spanner -- what do you call such a spanner
in the real world? Where do you get them?

Thanks.

Hook spanner. McMaster-Carr, p. 2589, is one source.

They're really easy to make. A lot cheaper, too. Bob

I figure that if I can get one locally that's better than what I can
make I'll get it, otherwise I'll make one.

I always start these design exercises requiring NC machines with lasers,
then go down from there -- I'm at the hacksaw stage now, so maybe I'll
just do it.
