Replacement wrench for the Table router

[Brian Dirk]

Changing out bits on the table router in the danger room is not a fun experience: and we're starting to scratch and round out the nuts on the bushings. The router supposedly came with some specialized wrenches that make it a breeze / non damaging to swap bits out.  Since we got it second-hand, we don't have those. 

I tried to find replacements online or from the manufacturer, and from a couple of other sites, all are saying the specific parts (wrenches) are discontinued or back-ordered with no ETA.

We need something like parts # 60 and 61 in the below link

So... does anybody have any thoughts on where I can go to find one? .. or how I can Make One - or get one made?

It should be a standard size nut, so a specialty automotive wrench would work.  I might have one or one can be purchased at either an auto part store or a tool dealer (online or locally).  Do you know what size nut it is?  Basically, it would be a regular wrench with a bend in it.  One could also be made without too much trouble if we can't buy it.

I'm at the shop tonight for the Science Crawl so I'll take a quick measurement.  

[Brian Dirk]

I don't know if you had a chance to check this, but the measurements I pulled off of the router yesterday was 1.25 Inch (for the bottom nut), and 1.14 inch for the top nut.
