Default How do I get this off? (Rocker)
Is there a special tool used for taking this off? It almost looks like some kind of spanner wrench would be used.

Spanner wrench or a small hard wood dowel and hammer.

Yeah, that's kinda what I'm thinking. Although, I'm amazed someone hasn't responded that has done this before. I did see a Rocker on here that had a painted grenade, but wouldn't you know, I can't find it now.

Ha ha! 10,000 comedians out of work and...(you know the rest).
Unfortunately, I tried pulling the pin. However, since I sacrificed my body to save everyone else, I muffled the explosion and the nut is still in tact.

Just get a spanner wrench or if can't get one take a small hard wood dowel and place the end of it in one of the notches and tap it with a hammer in a counter clock wise direction. Simple and done with no damage. Now go do it.
