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!

John I know the kind of nut you mean, I have worked with them, we
called them ring nuts, but I don't know what they are called here.
We did have a tool for them, I'll try to describe it, a flat tool
handle with the last 5 inches curved like a ( and a hook on the end
like a 7, a hinged 5 inch jaw on the handle also curved like a ) and a
hook like the 7 but backwards.
to use the tool, one hook would go into one slot and the other into
the opposite slot, you hold the tool so the hooks will work in the
direction you want the ring to turn.
However I have used brass pins and even a screwdriver when no other
choice, to hammer the ring loose, they were very often used in pairs
to lock them in place, I hope you can make sense out of my description.

They are Martin wrenches.

Sorry for that - but I call them pin wrenches myself.

There are fixed ones and adjustable ones.

I suggest an adjustable one to fit firmly.

The pin reaches over the top into a hole and you can pull the pin
around... flip it over and it reverses.

Hope this helps.

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!

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.

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

Update. I did end up order a wrench. No problem getting it off but need to
draw a bearing back in using the nut. I think a the hook spanner wrench
will do the trick. I saw the pin wrenches and knew they wouldn't work,
wasn't sure what they were called. Thanks again to all.
