Volume pot etc values

I just tested the potentiometers in my Expert Classic Rock (serial #150284 with Amber pickups) and this is the reading I got.  Looks like 1 Meg, best I can tell.
Not that it matters in my guitar.  Sound is excellent.

Excalibur output jack

My new Switchcraft barrel jack is already way too intermittent within the six months or so since I installed it.  Going to finally get rid of the recessed input jack and have a luthier rout/install a more typical input to have a more dependable solution.

Excalibur output jack

Will you please let me know what type of tool(s) would be used to get that barrel jack nut tightened on a Vigier Expert?
Very small space in there and I can't seem to find any tool that fits.
Thank you
