Any 14mm wrench or socket I use slips off the edges of the nut. How can I loosen this nut?

Hi jgullidge,

Thank you for the donation.

The nut is a very low profile type normal wrenches would tend to spin out and I would recommend getting a good hexagonal 14 mm wrench to unloosen it. Care has to be taken failing which you could damage the nut and cause additional problem.
