Shouldnt be that tight for you to need to put loads of effort into it.

Mole grips

Get a spanner around the 8mm end

A slightly ground down 3/8 extension worked for me until i got an 8mm.

Halfords sell them as singles also for just under £5.

Will be with the Oil filter wrenches etc

They come in 3/8in size.

They DO definitely sell them though!
