Open end wrench, 1/2" just like Mike said, clean it with brake cleaner first.

I have a 1/2" 8pt socket I use for them. But an open end will work if it wasn't over-tightened when last installed.

Use a longer breaker bar/lever arm. It makes loosening anything a lot easier. Also spray in advance with PB Blaster or a really good penetrating oil.
