SC Top Nut removal?

The external top nut is a right hand thread that is screwed onto the upper IC tube. It needs to be rotated towards the windshield to remove it. The inner nut is a left-handed thread and usually requires a little heat to break loose the thread sealant.

The nuts use a spanner wrench to break them loose. I have also seen a screwdriver with some protection like a piece of leather between it and the slots of the nut. Then it is struck with a hammer. If not carefully done this can either damage or break the nut.
