I am not having any luck imagining a search term for the tool used on these nuts which retain the glass on a window regulator. Can you assist?



P.S. I am aware that the tool can be made using some thick metal and machine screws. Thanks.

Aha! They have several names such as pin spanner but this one would be the ticket for me:

I seem to recall using a borrowed pair of C clip pliers before. :idea:  But the one in the link would make an easy fix for me.

Thanks anyway. Until the next Q...  :)

This one you should be able to make out of a piece of pipe and a rod. My thought was take an old socket that will just fit between the holes, and weld a 1/4" pin on each side.
Welcome to hell. Here's your accordion.

I used pliers on the edge of the nut as usual but now I am aware of more designs of the tool.

that CRL tool looks a lot like a brake caliper retracting tool.  i wonder if any of those would fit without mods..

Theres probably an antenna socket that could also work.
