A trick to try is to get a nut that will fit down into the pal nut, then enough of that nut will stick up above the pal nut that you should be able to get on it with a deep well socket. You may have to drill out the nut so that it will go over the threads on the control. I bought a set of tools from Magnavox when I was working for the dealer in the 70's. The set was made by xcelite and included two different pal nut wrenches and the little forked tool that was used to take the tuner assemblies out of the console TV's. Ocasionally the Magnavox Handi-Tool shows up on ebay, it has a 1/4 and 5/16 inch nut driver, the pal nut wrench and the fork for the TV tuner assemblies.

If you're going to try the pliers, you put them inside the pal nut and open them up to make contact with the nut while turning them.
