It's the nut with the two slots opposite each other.

Re: Need help again
If you can post a picture of the part you need to tighten down we might be better armed to advise you of the tool you need to find.

Re: Need help again
Not sure if it'll help, but you can sometimes put a small flat screwdriver onto a tightening ring/nut and tap it round with say a small hammer to tighten it providing the tip of the s rewdriver can sit in a notch or similar. You can then tighten it a bit at a time even if you can only access a few millimetres.
If this isn't what you're on about, then I'll shut up now

Re: Need help again
ian please check my message above. It was in the moderation queue and now it appeared above the other replies. I think that's the tool you are asking for.

Re: Need help again
I'm not sure what the connector looks like but another tool you could try is some circlip pliers. Google them if you don't know what they are and see if they might work with their little pins on the end.

Re: Need help again
Thanks Dx-Digger found 6-Inch 70-Degree Bent Long Nose Pliers might do the trick. I'll post a photo of the nut and try to find out the name of the tool. Thanks to all for the help
