Default Input jack came loose on Acoustic Composite Cargo

Apparently there is a nut on the inside of the guitar body that secures the jack where you plug in for electric which has come loose. Any suggestions on how to get down in there to access that locking nut? Thanks

I know Stew-Mac sells the tool, but given the location of the soundhole, you might need something else.

If this is a strap jack, the strap ring is actually a collar around the 1/4" jack's threaded shaft. When you unscrew and remove the collar you reveal the nut that holds tension and quite often there are a pair of holes through the shaft of the jack that allow you to hold it with a small screwdriver or punch through it and tighten down with a wrench. Protect your finish with low-take tape or sticky tabs.
