If this is the type that I think it is, you can easily make a tool.
Take a "F" connector, screw it on the terminator, stick a piece of coat
hanger wire in the center, mark and remove. Now, make the wire a bit
longer, say 1/16th to 1/8 inch longer. Solder the wire to the in the "F"
connector. Reinstall assy, torque tight and remove terminator!
