Does this look like a good tool for loosening switcharoo toggle nuts?

I need to replace my HDT’s switcharoo hardware and saw this on the StewMac site.

Does it look like the right tool for loosening/tighten the nuts around the four tiny toggle switches?

that might work, there are 2 11mm flats on the sides. we use an 11mm open end wrench, a polished chrome one.

Thanks Tom!

Are there any diagrams or instructions on switching out the switcharoo pcb/wiring?

What Tom says. I just hold the 11mm socket in my fingers and turn - I don't even put it into the wrench. There is enough leverage by just holding the socket to tighten (or loosen) those screws more than sufficiently.

I tried a socket but the inside edge is beveled(Craftsman) so it was a no go.

we actually have a nut driver that we modded to make it work. since the nut has only two flats on it, we ground out all but two flats inside the hex. it works great but is a little bit of a job to make. im surprised a regular socket would work with all the flats intact.

It might have been a 12mm that I use. I basically try them the ones around that size in the socket set until one seemed to bite without slipping. I need to check the set to see which one I used when I took the nut off to clean off the tarnish. I know, I know, shining up the nut is probably overkill. :)
