Or a Cescent or somesuch. (In the larger sizes AF or metric sockets are often near enough.)

...and when you have loosened the nut a suitable large adjustable spanner is a useful tool to hold the radius arm at the appropriate angle when re-tightening.

But make sure you are not twisting the radius arms and putting a twist on the spring and spring shackles.
