Cant really wrap anything around it.....

I see what you mean. Put the castle nut in the vice with some leather to protect it. Then turn the weapon, using a pipe wrench with leather to protect the finish if necessary. You won't be able to turn it very far but you should be able to break it loose.

 

[SaintsNSinners]

INGO working poor here... dont have a vice or leather.... I think the pipe wrench is currently holding some pipes together under the sink.

 

[RobbyMaQ]

What's the diameter of that thing?
would something like modified snap ring pliers work in a pinch as 'poor mans castle nut wrench'?

 

[Sylvain]

Do you have needle nose pliers that could fit the grooves of that castle nut?

... dont have a vice or leather.....

Why do I find this so difficult to believe?

 

[Sylvain]

You could try to make your own castle nut wrench by using pliers and two pieces of a large nail that you would cut and insert into the grooves of the nut on each side.
If they are the right diameter you should be able to turn them using the pliers.

Needle nose slipped out.. thats the wee bit of marring on it now.... lol I can redneck engineer anything..... except this.... I made my own impact nail gun to fix a ladies bridge over a drainage ditch last week using a rock and a board....

But cant get a nut off....


Robby its about the size of a nickle... If I could get it off I could tell ya how big it is....

.223 ammo to who ever can get it off and back on

OK, not having the right tools makes a lot of things much more difficult. If one of the slots of the castle nut is in the right position and you trust the strength of the cage surrounding it, you might be able to use a large straight blade screwdriver as a lever to turn the castle nut.

DOnt have a vice and the horse keeps all the leather in the bedroom

Sad part is I had the correct pliers 4 days ago.... then small children got ahold of them and ate them or used some kind of antimatter on them.... They are gone from this house... I tore it apart.

You have to put it back on to attach the new thing you got?
I guess you cant use your fremel to remove it then lol.

Howdy all.
So I put one of my AR's in the classifieds WTT/WTS and am offered a very nice S&W 1911PD caspian. I see some cell phone pics and it looks just like one I sold early in 13.
I meet the guy today and when he pulls out the box I opened it and sure enough.....it was the same gun. The grips I put on it and a few other things. He said he bought it from a friend and it turned out the circle is now complete. I smiled and brought it back home.

 

[RobbyMaQ]

This is what I meant (kinda). not the best tool...
taken with my uber awesome tracfone.

Yes.

depedns on how tight. may need bigger allen wrenches (or subtitutes). I dunno... this isn't the proper tool... it's a 'fly by the seat of my pants what can I use now' tool

 

[SaintsNSinners]

I just broke a steel punch...... Its on there good...
