Whoa, that's a beautiful site...this guy has documented a few of the things
that I also thought of documenting (main for this group) but never got the
time to do.

Yeah, I hear you on "special tools"...if that nut has never been messed
with, then it will be tight. You can see the shape of the tool that they're
using in the photo, so perhaps you can whip something like that up if you
happen to have access to a machine shop.

Otherwise you could get a *large* set of channel-lock pliers
(in case you're not tool-inclined, they look like this:
www.matadorcoupe.com/seebee65/channel_lock.jpg), use a shop towel to
prevent marring of the nut chrome surface, and remove the nut that way. You
want large-ish channel locks, where the face of each jaw is 1/2" wide and
you want some with at least 12" handle to do the job. That won't be cheaper
than buying the special tool, but at least you'll have a nice new set of
channel locks in your toolbox.

Good luck,
Arthur
