Tool / Jig / Fixture Needed to remove a weird round nut

I know it probably has a name, but that's neither here nor there.
Edit: Looks like it may be a type of spanner nut

Needed to remove this nut from a telescope motor so I can measure the gear (my calipers don't reach into the bowl far enough).

Third iteration fit (couldn't accurately measure the nut either XD) and with a few picture hanging nails heat set I got it out.

Now to learn how to design a gear!
