A complete novice so forgive me !

I need to replace my toilet syphon (which I have brought)
I need to loosen the nut underneath the cystern
The adjustable wrench I have are too small - biggest being jaw size 10"
What is the correct tool for this job ?

Get a bigger wrench, they are not that expensive, or hard to find.

The correct tool is called an adjustable spud wrench (Google it... hard to find locally), or you could just use a 16" pair of water pump pliers (readily available at all home improvement stores).
