Funky weight bolt tool needed

Thanks, found it under the Uni-Loc Radial System page. Does anyone have these bolts in stock? Atlas is out, and I might want to change this bolt to a different material.
I found it on the Uni-Loc site, the radial spanner tool

Thanks, I was too slow editing my post above. I found it. They are out of stock on the bolts and I might want a heavier bolt. Do you know who has these?
Great idea, thanks. That worked. I used my snap-ring pliers twice ever then they went into the toolchest waiting to see the light again.
idea,
You need an English spanner bit - the same type used for the rail bolts on antique tables.
Tho there is an adjustable one sold for tables, IMHO it would bee too big for this application.
A glance with Google turned up this:

Glad it worked. I have had one that was either stuck or glued...never got it out and broke the cheap pair I was using..lol.
Happy New Year.

Someone know his tools. Spanners have been around for ages. Any well stocked tool store has them.

Dull doesn't know his tools very well. The largest of those type of spanner bits are only about 1/4" between pins...
I'm guessing that an adjustable pin-type spanner wrench will be needed.

The Uni-Loc wrench made for this is cheaper than an adjustable spanner
You are pitiful... the fact that I linked to an example of the TYPE of tool needed,
with pic yet, must be beyond the capacity of your alleged mind.
Perhaps you could hire someone who can understand written English to explain
posts to you.

Dull,
The TYPE of tool you posted isn't readily available in the size required to remove the pin. If you think that was helpful information, you are wrong.
BTW...in England, a 'spanner' is what they call an open end wrench. Your information was soooooo far off that it was useless.
Your post did nothing to help at all, so who are you to point at anyone else? The correct term for the tool needed IS a spanner wrench, but most on the open market don't fit the size needed here. Hence the offered advice of snap-ring pliers. The OP's issue was solved way before you posted....but being the electrical engineer that you are, (AKA know it all)....you couldn't stop yourself...BTW... we aren't in England in case your not sure.
Go find a truncated triangle to play with and stop being a rude azzhat to others that seem to have a better handle on things....:thumbup:

You're in a hole frito, stop digging.
Everyone but you understood that my link was not a recommendation for a specific tool.
BTW as I explained - antique tables used rail bolts with a similar TYPE head.
When I purchased a bit and brace to install/remove those TYPES of bolts - the catalog
of the company that sold it to me listed it as a SPANNER bit.
Again - the difference between reality and what you said:

British Dictionary definitions for spanner Expand
spanner
/ˈspænə/
noun
1.
a steel hand tool with a handle carrying jaws or a hole of particular shape designed to grip a nut or bolt head

Take particular notice of the phrase "bolt head"
Google is a terrible thing to waste.

In all fairness - he really can't help himself, at this point. He so wants me to be wrong
about anything at all that he is in full John Barton delusional mode.
But, on a positive note this uhum "discussion" has lead me to info about some
really cool old tools - it is amazing what clever people have developed over the years.
In the interest of full and candid disclosure - the first antique table I ever bought, I
took the rail bolts out using a pair of needle nosed pliers and an adjustable wrench.
