The threads are fine, but I need whatever tool that lines up with those round indentations so I can re-install it.You would have to find out what thread it is and re tap it
How tight does it have to be and do you care if the surface is damaged? I've got a pair of nylon-jawed pliers that I use on large connectors that would do it. If you don't care about the finish, any old set of pliers would probably work.The threads are fine, but I need whatever tool that lines up with those round indentations so I can re-install it.
The problem is that it needs to sit inside the water hose hookup before it can be tightened as you can see from my third pic. The inly thing i can think of is a spanner or reverse pliers.How tight does it have to be and do you care if the surface is damaged?

Like you said, there must be a “bespoke” tool for it.The problem is that it needs to sit inside the water hose hookup before it can be tightened as you can see from my third pic. The inly thing i can think of is a spanner or reverse pliers.
Sorry I only had two pics. It was the second one i was referring to. It just drops in there, so no threading, but by the time it is securely tightened, It will set that far recessed into the main hookup housing.Don't see a third Pic. What is it for? Check valve on fresh water inlet? Does it thread in to the piece in the second Pic?
This is what the underside looks like.Sorry I only had two pics. It was the second one i was referring to. It just drops in there, so no threading, but by the time it is securely tightened, It will set that far recessed into the main hookup housing.
It sits about an inch and a half inside. Maybe I can look into those tools, to see if I can find one with long enough studs. Otherwise, I was thinking about some type of c-clamp spreader or something similar.How deep is it inset? Something akin to a watch caseback removal tool may work:

Sounds good. Let us know what you find.It sits about an inch and a half inside. Maybe I can look into those tools, to see if I can find one with long enough studs. Otherwise, I was thinking about some type of c-clamp spreader or something similar.
Truth be told, I’m lost on which piece needs the tool. Does the tool need to fit inside or outside the part in question?There are 10-point sockets on Amazon used for automotive work that might work out if the size is right?
