Thanks for the ideas everyone...unfortuneley I could not access the top nut, tried extensions, universals etc. with no luck. I ultimately had to screw up my deck and drill a 3/4 hole right over the shank large enough to get a 9/16 slim body socket on the new nut...fixed it and am going to find a 3/4 snap in plastic plug to cover the hole. Sounds like another common problem with Streams. Too bad they didn't dab a little loc tight or resin on the threads before they mated the deck...???
