Looking for a tool

[Copperman]

This is the inside of my top case on my 2020 RT Limited. I remember seeing a "tool" that slips over the locking nut that makes it easier to turn. For the life of me I can't remember where I saw it. Who here can help? Thanks.

If you cant find the tool your looking for, I am sure that if you know of a machine shop or welding shop around some one could make one for you with no problem! Good luck!

The "tool" I remember seeing was made out of rubber or plastic.

You could make one out of wood if you have the tools. All it has to do is slip down over both sides of that raised area. If you were in Maine I would make one for you!!:cheers:

But I guess that's just me being mean! Yet strangely, it feels so right?!?

Sorry, but I can't help you any with the top case 'tool', just the other one.... :roflblack:

Look up " Lockring Wrench" or "Fixed Gear Lockring Wrench" on the Internet.

I have a pair of flat nose/duck bill pliers that would work. LOWES has them, sometimes in the electrical tools area.

Maybe a socket of correct size and a little work with a grinder or dremel and cutting wheel?

I used a small block of wood and two dowels. Figured spacing, drilled holes in block, glued dowels, works great.

I’ll fool with that once Ann’s top box arrives. We used channel lock slip joint pliers on tour, but they mar the plastic.
