Well, you can get a giant Allen wrench. I have one. And I've used it once.
Or you can get a coupling nut that fits and use a regular wrench on the end
that protrudes. The coupler nut will be much less expensive but it won't be as
strong as a proper wrench and if the retainer nut is particularly tight there
might be a problem. But since coupler nuts are available at your local
hardware store it is worth a try.
Good luck
