If it only needs 15 ft/lbs torque a large set of needle nose pliers would probably work.

No tool is mentioned in the 2014 manual, but it is shown in the 2013 manual! This is just one example of many inconsistencies that exist in BRP's documentations, within a specific document and between successive years of documents.
The tool MSRP is $68.99 but you probably can't find one! I would try using a Channellock pliers. Just drop the jaws into the notches.
Idaho, Thanks for the diagrams, and the canam manual link. Made sure I saved them all for future reference.
I did see on ebay there was such a tool listed, but I think for the price I will use my own ingenuity and invent one. Your channel lock suggestion sounds like it would work as well. I was thinking a piece of cross steel inserted across the slots and a Crescent Wrench. Seeing the nut is torqued so low it wouldn't take much effort to remove and reinstall it.
Glad to see the ingenuity of creative ideas being mentioned here. It's amazing what we can accomplish and invent when we want to save some bucks for ourselves! Along with your diagrams, those diagrams helped many of us, I'm sure.
Thanks again.

Great idea! This is something similar to Spyder Stuff's invention he made in his video ( @ approx 4:32 ) with the exception he welded a Bolt onto his steel piece to be able to use a ratchet. Such ingenuity!

Both great ideas.

Your input was invaluable , and we actually found out what, and how, to tackle ( with a little ingenuity ) this culprit should any of us need to.
Once again......... Thank You, All. Great Work!

ebay item 121077395218 is the castellated socket that fits that nut perfectly.

In situation like this, I have used a piece of steel flatstock cut to fit and applied a large Crescent Wrench for twisting. Cheap and easy - that's me.
Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.

Another "Cheap and Easy" here as well . That's exactly the method I was thinking myself. Keep it simple!
