No, Right, your just not trying. But if you are going to be in and out of a radio on a regular basis you might consider fabricating a tool. Using thick wall brass tube the diameter of the nut, cut the 2 'tits' on one end and solder a nut to the other end to give something to grip with a real wrench.
Craftsman makes a nice assortment of the distributor wrenches in a pouch, but I've had to buy a fairly large set of wrenches that came with the little pouch tucked in there. You can probably get the pouch only if you are willing to play the mail order game. Also for future reference the FT-60 SMA connector is not meant to be removed from the case, if you do some how manage to get the jack out of there you will have to buy a whole back case assembly for a new connector.
