Got an adjustable crescent wrench? That would be easiest. Other than that i think its a 22mm but ill have to double check that. Make sure to get the two 10mm nuts that hold it down from underneath the pedestal, they're a pain. Theres a nut on top too that i think is a 12mm, might be a 10mm too though.
Good luck!
Good luck!

I had to but an open end wrench for the job, could not find the racheting type. It was hell getting it off, and even worse getting it to line back up and screw back in. Be sure to replace your crush washers also so it wont leak.
