[Lowfer] Help - Tool Advice?

[Mike WE0H]

Looking at the nut on 2 rigs here, it appears a right angle snap ring 
pliers filed down to make the tips small enough, would do the trick. All 
else fails, talk to Clif KA5IPF over at Avvid http://www.avvid.com/ and 
he will get you the solution for sure. He runs a Kenwood repair shop and 
has a excellent reputation for his work and free advice for the do it 
yourself people.
