Channel locks!

Yup, and some muscle. We're talking BIG channel-locks.

Much easier with a pipe wrench. Especially removal.

I call them “a plumbers hammer” ….. get a pipe wrench.

Agreed on the pipe wrench. A really big one makes short work of those gland nuts. The jaws will also bite into the metal really good. So protect the nut surface if the jaw marks will bother you.

+2 on the pipe wrench.
