Wrench for mounting CJ light switch

That's what I am looking for, to use on the dash mount. I know how to remove the knob, but can't find a good way to loosen and tighten that nut. Does one exist?

Also I own a 2001 Jeep Cherokee, White, all stock with 4.0L. automatic, and police package. Best part of that is it came with leather seats! This package also has the NP242 Transfer Case, 8.25 rear end, and trailer towing package.

Thanks for posting that PB, I wasn't sure anything like that existed. As it is a specific tool for AMC vehicles. I know that older Fords had a similiar nut on their headlight switches.

I made a tool similar to that to remove the valves from my 1960 Wayne compressor. Looks just a easy to fab up a socket.

When I get that sucker off, I would like to change over to something a bit simpler that doesn't require specialized tooling. Keeping it like it came from the factory just doesn't appeal to me. I once had a tool to remove that nut but had to modify it to work on an old pickup truck.
