Door panel pull strap trim (escutcheon) trim nut tool

[jbaker]

Anyone know of a tool to use on the thread cutting formed sheet metal nuts on the back of the upper door panels?
Thanks, Jeremy.

I just use a nut-driver to remove / install
If that's the Q(?)

Nut driver is not the way to take it out. I used a C clip remover to remove them

I'm asking because the panels that came off the car have the "nut" threaded on backwards compared to what one would think. Maybe theyare on wrong but these panels look original and trim is def original.

 

[Boostdeznuts]

Yes they're inside out from the factory that's why nut driver wont cut it.

C clip remover? Fill me in please.

I've gotten many off using a flat head screw driver. Wedge it in and turn carefully.
