Need to make a tool. An old deep socket ground down with two small pegs left. Can't remember diameter needed

There is a threaded ring that holds it all in place.

with the catch removed, look through the hole at the rear of the lock, and you will see the ring with 2 small slots in it. As Paul has just said best way is to make a tool but it can be done with 2 screwdrivers if it is not too tight.

Socket is 7/8th
