I gotta believe that with 600-some posts on here Vern, that you aren't asking what size wrench because you don't have wrenches.
You're asking what size because you've tried all the wrenches you have and none fit. Right?
You should have mentioned that in your post. Crucial details like that avoid misunderstandings and hurt feelings. Now you're mad because a few people berated you for not knowing how to use a simple wrench. They got mad because you portrayed yourself as someone who did not know how to use a simple wrench. Everybody's mad, for no reason, and your question has not been answered.
Well, the wrenches don't fit because someone rounded the corners off whatever nut you're trying to turn. This is either because the nut is rusted on to the bolt, or because someone used the wrong wrench.
You've got options here.
1. A metric wrench may fit and grip the nut.
2. A pair of 10" vise grips will clamp the nut, and you may be able to remove it.
If the nut is rusted, spray it with PB Blaster every day for a week, then try the vise grips.
It may require a torch to heat the nut in order to remove it.
Regardless, replace the nut when you do get it off.
