Default The bush way to remove the nut

Most CMPs you find here which have spent time in the bush have been taken apart using the tried, tested, lazy and destructive method of the hammer and cold chisel.
Obviously they start with these tools to knock back the retaining washer lug then, rather than return to the toolbox think: "Oh well, this will be faster" and pound the nuts off with a chipping motion. Once the axle is back in the boss won't notice and the job's done.
You see the correct box wrench here from time to time and I have one along with the correct slip-in handle, a couple of which which Euan located. These are normally part of the CMP toolkit.
So much more civilised!
