I feel like this is kind of a dumb question, but for the life of me, I can't find one of these for sale from online sellers.

Anyone know where I can pick one up? New or used is just fine.

Thanks in advance!

I did search there, but then went page-by-page in their tools section and it's called a "Camshaft nut tool". That's why I couldn't find it earlier.

Thanks!!

A couple years ago the Snyder’s tool did not properly fit without some grinding by the welds. Once modified to fit the nut, it worked okay. If it does not initially fit, you can make it work with a bit of trial and error grinding.

The original Ford wrench works best. I mean without removing the radiator !

After you get the nut off, consider buying a nut with a regular hex pattern that a regular hex socket or box end wrench will fit.
