Abstract
A tool which has the capability of removing the nut from both large and small nut plate assemblies. The tool comprises a handle having a removal nose portion at one end, the nose portion having an upper jaw portion separated from a lower jaw portion by an opening. The upper jaw portion is used to pry open the nut plate cage and the lower jaw portion pushes and lifts the nut from the cage. The space between the two jaw portions enables a pivoting action around the pried open cage wall.
