    Colt Detective Special

    I'm cleaning a Colt Detective Special for my mother-in-law, it's been setting for many years since her husband passed. It's pretty gummed up but nothing is stuck yet and is in pretty decent shape. I've got everything apart ready to clean except for the ejector rod. I've got a book that says to use a "standard Colt wrench" to remove the set screw. I've searched Brownells and Midway but can't find one. The wrench would be a tube with two nibs sticking out to fit into the notches in the nut. Sort of like the bolt tool on an Enfield. Anyone have any idea where I could get one of these?

    Thanks,

    Greg

    Never mind.....I found it. It's called a crane bushing tool.

    Thanks,
