kz440 triple removal

got an 82 KZ440 and the top nut has 4 indents one on each side. Is there a tool i need to get or what can i use to get it off its on the top of the triple clamps holding the steertube on

These aren't difficult to make.

I used a big screwdriver & hammer. Tightening was kind of a pain but no big deal, as you have to go by feel, tightening & loosening until it seems right. I thought I saw somewhere in the factory manual where Kawasaki has a suggested method for tightening the locknut when you don't have the special tool, but I couldn't find it. or maybe that was for the big steering stem nut. ???

guess ill try to get it off with a screwdriver and hammer then make one of those tools to put it back on. Thanks for your help everyone

Please don't hammer on a screwdriver. A drift punch would be a much better choice.
