What is the tool to adjust XTR 900 rear hub?

It's got 4 small holes I assume for some sort of pin tool...somewhat like a Mavic hub? Anyway, does anyone know where to get such an old school tool? And does the hub only adjust from the non-drive side?

Thanks

On a cup and cone hub the rt side should be very tight and adjustments made on the left side.
I couldn't find an XTR 900 on shimano's site.

XTR M900-series hubs were the very first XTR hubs that Shimano made. They used standard cone wrenches to adjust the bearings.

A picture would help identify the hub and which holes you are referring to.

I took a closer look and they do just need the cone wrenches. I got distracted by the outer dust cap with the little holes. Thanks for the help everyone.
