Hello all, hopefully someone can identify the tool needed to remove the star-shaped nut (see photos) which is described as a "half-nut" in the shop manual (part# 25). Looking at the replacement cable (see post #2), it looks like this star-nut actually screws into the hull.
I'm trying to replace the steering cable. I've had it fully disassembled except for a star-shaped nut on the hull. The manual implies that no tool is needed (none listed), and should pull out in two halves. I couldn't get it to budge. Should I try and pry it out with a screwdriver? Or grip it with some pliers and pull/twist it out? It's plastic, so I imagine there's a specific tool needed.
TIA for any help.
