Need Spanner Wrench for Delta 17-990x

[Mustangmarty1967]

Where can I find the correct spanner wrench for Delta spindle nut # 1346054? I tried using a hammer and flat tip screw driver, but the metal in the nut is too thin, so all it does is bugger up the slots without loosening the slotted nut. The nut looks to be 1.28” major outside diameter x 1.01” minor outside diameter inside the slots x .23” slot width.

Measure the OD and get a hook spanner to suit:

Also, make sure you aren’t trying to turn a left-hand nut the wrong way.

I have made these type of wrenches in a pinch, even if cut out of mild steel, it'll work for a one-off job.
