Anyone have a trick for removing the antenna nuts? This is on a '61 Imperial. There is nothing to grab on to the bezel, it is smooth but there are 2 little holes in the side. Last one I had to cut off to get the antenna out

I got an antenna wrench (never knew they made those!). The pins are too large to fit in, I am working on modifying it but not sure it will work. I got one nut removed with 2 drill bits, and one person tapping one way with a hammer, and one the other. However that doesn't work for the more stuck ones. Any other ideas anyone?

I'd look for something like these below, with the right pin size...
