Okay, sounds good.

You can do it with a pair of slip joint pliers, an adjustable wrench or a 24mm wrench if you remove the ground wire above it. It's a tight fit, so it's much easier with a 24mm socket though.

Okay, I'll try those first. Might just have to run to the store I guess. Thanks for your help!
