If the penetrometer nut cannot be easily opened by hand, it may have become sealed too tightly during
analysis. Use the penetrometer wrench to remove it.
1. Place the penetrometer tool over the nut.
2. Place the wrench peg into a hole in the penetrometer nut. Use the penetrometer tool to stabilize
the cap while tightening the nut counter-clockwise.
3. Position the wrench so the peg on the wrench fits into the notch on the nut.
4. While holding the penetrometer tool, turn the wrench clockwise to loosen and remove the nut.
