Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Broken AAC install tool alternatives
Posted: 2/28/2021 3:54:47 AM EDT
Broke the cheap pos install tool while installing. Just noticed the upper I put the nut on doesn't have a port door spring.
Now I get to redo. I can't find the tool for sale anywhere. I tried a castle nut wrench but was too big. Unless my tool sucks.
Thanks for any recommendations

This is what I'm looking at:
