ok, its been said that a1's dont have that slotted nut, but just for you all
to know my friend developed a great way to make the tool.  Go out and buy a
cheapy 14mm socket.  cut down on the two sides with a hacksaw/ diegrinder and
leave two "teeth" across from one another.  woohoo You have a wonderful tool
that works great.  If you dont understand you would once you see the nut.
 otherwise they usually arent all that tight so you can spin it around with a
flat screwdriver and hammer, but that takes longer.  Just thought this
wonderful system should be shared to you guys, you might need it someday.
