Steph,
I believe that the nut is a 1/2" SAE nut. Find the oldest/cheapest
1/2" wrench you have and grind it thinner and grind off some of the sides.
I took an old combination wrench, and ground down both sides of the box
a little so it would fit. I also ground down the outter sides of the open
end.
Hope this helps.
