Getting this razzer facking spider off...

Plinth Adenoid:
Hi everyone

So I'm beginning the restoration of my DP and having a little trouble getting the spider off the crank.

It's a Takagi crank, 1 piece, from yonks ago, like early 80's. I've taken a pic, looking at the back of the spider:



How do I get this off? I can see a notch for something to use to turn it but looking in my huge box of spanners, there ain't one like that! Also, is it left or right handed thread?

Great fun doing this, even if I do get a bit Mutley about it. It takes me back to 1984 and trying desperately to get my bike fixed before the paper round the next morning :)

Thanks for any help guys.

i had to buy set pipe griops they open right up to fit that and the thread is backwards on it too so turn opposite way to norm to loosen it

meticulous:
this nut undoes anti-clockwise,

    i.e  normal way,

 get some big fook-off mole grips on it or tw@t it off with a lump hamer and chisel, using the cut out,

 the shock useing this tac-tic can sometimes help free'ing it... ;)

I use Stilsons to remove mine, fits the slots just right  ;)
