There's several options. First, you're not going to find a wrench large enough that won't break your bank.

You can use a pipe wrench, if you have one

Or you could buy a large set of adjustable pliers and while you'd never hold them with your hands you could take a hose clamp and tighten it up so you could loosen the nuts without having to squeeze the handle. You should be able to get those at any parts store, or farm store, etc.

I had to use 2 pipe wrenches on mine cuz the nut was so corroded.
