If Keith doesn't have one —-

Here is a spare one.

Best, Fred

I'm assuming its for the rotor nut? I didn't know that existed. I just use a metric socket.

It's 1/2"(13mm). I have a thin bicycle wrench that's bent at a right angle near the open end. Fits nicely around the spool shaft. Not good for real tight hex nuts, though. This is for the baffle plate/rotating-head nut right?

I seldom use these.

My preferred tool is a Metric nut driver.

I keep a complete set of the Metric's and Standards directly to my right on the bench.

Quick & easy.

Best, Fred

I use thin walled deep well sockets.I prefer the extra leverage of the ratchet.

If I remember right there are two different sizes of the Mitchell issue wrench.
