How to remove plastic nut on my toilet flush system?

What would be the best tool to remove this horrible plastic 'nut' on my toilet flush system!

 

I am trying to replace a leaking flush and this nut has been stubborn. I don't have a big enough wrench to get it moving and don't really want to buy one as they are expensive. Any sub $20 tool that would do the trick?

Hi @jordoniums 

 

 

Try  using thats what i use.

It will all itself to adjust to that nut size.  If The tool plays up and changes size on you tighten the plier central nut a bit. Cheaper  hand tools can come back and bite you when under more pressure.

 

A  Better tool might be  as below as hand  tools can last you a life time.

Hi @jordoniums,

 

A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community and thank you for your question.

 

@Jewelleryrescue has already jumped in with the right advice.

 

Multigrips, such as the Craftright 250mm Multigrip Plier are the best option at a price point beneath $20.

 

Let me know if you've got any further questions.

 

Jacob
