removing a washer drum
My wife's grandmother is getting a new washer and I'm trying to get the drum out of hers to use as a fire pit. I got all the way to the final step and I cannot seem to get the final 'bolt' off. Apparently I need a spanner wrench to get it off.
I tried everything I could it get it off. Does anyone know where I can get a spanner wrench like the one in the picture or have one I could borrow for a day?

We used a hacksaw and cut the post free from the drum at the base. 20 Min's worth of work for something you'll likely do anyways

That's not a bad idea. Worst part about it is the lack of room. Thanks Keith

Re: removing a washer drum
I've been dropping a bunch of stuff off at the Sydney dump. There were quite a few washer drums lying around at the front of the metal pile, and quite a few more lining the road for big garbage pick up (which is on right now in the CBRM). Might be easier just to grab one from a source like that. If you're in the area, I can get you one.

Thanks for the offer Jason but it won't be needed. My father in-law had a very similar tool and we'll be taking it out tomorrow provided there are no road blocks!
