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?

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.
