Credit where due: I just googled "ambihelical hexnut".
The 3-leg "bracket" showed up long ago in Mad magazine as in item called a "poiuyt" - run your keybord from p across to t, there it is. I used to drive my elementary & jr hi teachers crazy with this, then one of them retaliated with the ambihelical hexnut. And then discovered Escher in college. It was about that time posters with his drawings started to become popular.

Yaay! Might want to hop down to the auto parts shop for some "anti-seize" lubricant for reassembly. It's usually a silver-colored paste. Got a tube @ 35 years ago and still haven't run out. A little goes a long way.
I heard a long time ago about mixing 50/50 Automatic Transmission Fluid and Acetone. Well, last night I tried it on a frozen thrust bearing on my 90 year old bandsaw and voila'. Cheap at twice the price. You got to keep it covered or the acetone leaves town. It's messy too.
