Sorry Mike, but this guy has been a very confrontational, rude a@#hat since he got here, many times with many people, constantly touting his higher intellect and his accomplishments, using that as to the reason why he should be allowed to be this way towards others. One example is this thread that he took part in when he had only joined like less than 3 months before....http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=405878
He was Just a very self righteous rude Dbag, IMO and very happy he got a richly deserved vacation.

If this is Uniloc then use that if it can be had. You also have to know the pin/hole size. The adjustable tool for old T-Rail tables could work but if the pins are too large it'll be really tough to make them smaller and at the same time end up with a workable tool. Think Pin Slip Out. But the span is close to an inch with around 1/4" of adjustment available.

The standard adjustable spanner wrenches have pins only so long and that is short. Pin size is also a concern. It looks like a standard pin length will not reach inside the recessed bolt.

The old fashion way if all else fails is properly secure the butt and take a pin punch and hammer to it. Alternating hole blows. Then prepare to replace the whole part. It'll look like it got hammered out when done.

The "correct" tool is pathetically easy to make. Get a piece of round stock the right diameter or turn one to the right diameter.
Find the correct pin size by using drills as gauges.
Measure the spacing between holes with calipers.
Scribe a center line on the end of your piece of round stock.
Transfer your spacing measurement to your center line.
Center punch, then drill your holes twice the diameter of your drill bit deep.
Slice the 2 pins off the butt end of the drill bit you used with a cutting disc or even a saw.
Tap the pins into the holes using red Loctite to secure them. The pins should stick out about one diameter or so.
Done. Total time: perhaps 15 minutes on a bad day.
Grab with vice grips and turn.
You're welcome.

PS- I did this first at perhaps age 12.
PPS- You could even file 2 flats on the back end of your tool so you can turn it with a wrench, but of course that would add 10 minutes to the job.

Robin has the answer, it is very simple to make a tool to do the task.
Here is a picture of a tool I made to get the nut off of a PC Router.
