Unless the UV5R is unusual, the only "nut" I can visualize is the thin plate that holds the SMA connector in place on the body of the radio. Those tend (at least in my mind) to have teeth cut in the rim for a "special" tool to unscrew them, as normal nuts are too thick and don't leave room for a socket. https://mgs4u.com/product/nut-for-sma-female-bulkheads-thru-walls-and-feed-throughs-7815-s-nut/ https://www.data-alliance.net/bulkhead-nut-washer-for-rp-sma-sma-mount-connector-on-enclosure-or-pcb/ Didn't see any of the flat plate style.
