Q:

Uni 		Sears bicycle made in Austria buy Puch?
This bike has a very distinctive "nut" holding the handlebar to the headset. Instead of a nut that can be loosened with a crescent-shaped wrench, this "nut" does not have flattened sides for a wring but slots for a special wrench like those around a crank and bottom bracket. There are 3 slots. 1 at 11’oclock, 5'oclock, and 7'oclock. Does anyone grasp the name of this type of wrench and the size I will need, and where I can buy one, so that I can raise the handlebars? Please take a look at these pictures of 1 of the slots and the "nut.

What you difficulty is called a C-Spanner. (Some folks also call it a hook wrench.)

Unfortunately, I can't definitely tell the size you need. In any case, here is a picture of one on the Park Agency Website for bottom bracket repair.

Here's another picture.

In popular, if the arc of the wrench doesn't fit the arc of the nut exactly, it'll still work. The mighty thing is the hook of the wrench fits the slot reasonably well and doesn't try to pop out of the niche as you apply pressure. If the arc of the wrench is so far off from the arc of the nut, that it wants to pop out, you need to find another wrench.

Optimistically you get the point.

BTW - Linkwray is correct. You should not need to adjust this nut to raise or quieten then handlebar stem. The nut in question is used to adjust bearing burden in the headset.

The quill stem is held in place by a binder shocker exhaust. To loosen the binder bolt, do the following. Loosen the bolt in the top of the descend several turns. Place a block of wood on top of the bolt. Gently tap the stump of wood. Repeat the process a couple times if necessary. This should acknowledge you to then raise and lower the stem. To tighten the quill back in the headset, merely tighten the top bolt.

A minimum insertion line will be inscribed around the pedicel. Do not raise the stem above this line. If you do, there will not be enough stem inside the steering tube to certify everything holds together. There are few worse things than having your handlebars come unfastened from the rest of you bike during a high speed descent!

Hope this helps.
