I own a Mossberg 835 Ultimag 3.5" 12 GA. I would like to remove the forearm to do a more thorough cleaning, but the forearm retention nut is really screwed on tight. I've been told by Mossberg that the remove/install tool is called a 'Spanner', but the person I spoke with didn't know where I could get one. I could probably jury rig a tool to remove it, but I want to use an appropriate tool so I don't gouge or scratch any more than absolutely necessary.
(Retention Nut details - if needed are below)
Does anyone have a recommendation for a tool I could buy or an alternative tool that might be acceptable? I've looked on the web, but with no success as of yet.
With much appreciation,

Retention Nut details
The retention nut is about 1" I.D and 1.375" O.D. and has two inline cuts on either side of the magazine where a tool would insert. It resembles a castle nut (although its' O.D. is circular) with only two slots that are across from one another. (Sorry if it is too much detail - I'm an engineer : )
