The picture link didn't work. So, I'm just guessing you mean the nut on the top of the tuner. These:

In my experience those are always 3/8 inch or 10mm wide & can be tightened with a normal wrench that size or an adjustable wrench. I also have a tool that has that soze at the end of a screwdrive like drive. Like this but with a deeper socket.

But, if you've already tried unsuccessfully to tightened it with a wrench then the tuner post threads might be stripped & need to be replaced. You might want to take it to a local music store for repair.
Hope that helps!
