[Hallicrafters] removing nuts holding selectivity switch to chassis

[Al Parker]

Hi John,
	(missed you at Shelby)
	I don't know this switch setup, but often there's another nut on it 
behind the chassis, to space it out correctly.  If so, I've gotten to 
that nut, sometimes with a thin wrench, but usually with a small sharp 
punch.  Place the tip of the punch on the hex of the nut to move it in 
the proper direction, then tap the punch with a hammer.  Usually loosens 
it enuf to let you finish the job.

Do anyone of you Hallicrafters mechanics know of a good way to loosen the recessed (to the panel) know a good way to loosen the nut holding the switch to the front of the chassis. I have a guitar wrench that is good to remove nuts from a panel without scratching but this nut is recessed and holds the switch to the front of the chassis. Anyone with experience removing this particular switch for capacitor change? Please advise. Thanks, and 73, John, K5PGW,
