Apparently it's a "special shaped" nut, otherwise i would've used a stainless one from work.
As above
If you use a socket with just the 6 points on it rather than 12 I think you'll be totally fine undoing it.
A 12mm deep angled ring spanner is the correct way of nipping it back up though, 'cos you need to adjust the centre screw.
It really does make a difference when adjusting it properly from the lower end first, the clutch lever and changing gear felt much smoother this morning in comparison to before.
I've been stuck in so much traffic over the last month I'm probably wearing the cable out much quicker than it should do, and I've been burning fuel for fun. I wouldn't mind but it's not even that far to my work but recent journeys have been horrendous with the sheer volume of traffic, sometimes with my own road being clogged up. On really bad days I've even resorted to sneakily using the pavement in side roads otherwise I just wouldn't move. :\
