[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3170734, member: 7900"] Since the "nut" is rectangular rather than square, one might be able to use a 12-point socket, but it would have to be big enough to fit the 4 corners that are in the rectangle. The problem with 12-point sockets is that their "points" are shallow, and with a metal such as this fixture appears to be, they might just slip off and round the corners. I'd consider a pipe wrench in a vice with the wrench jaws up. However, that might be unhandy for working with the other "wrenching" device. [/QUOTE]
