Anyone know the manufacturer or where to find a stem valve wrench for this fixture?

Normally there is an six sided portion of the stem behind the tile that allows the use of a long socket wrench.

Yes, we can see the eight sided portion ( the "nut") in the photo but the stem is very long. Would you happen to know the brand of the faucet or the size of the nut? Thanks.

Yes, it's s 6 sided, not 8. But it looks smaller than 0.656" which is the smallest in the set. I don't have a way to measure it before it's removed.

SOLVED (Maybe!) I was able to somewhat measure it and it does seem like the 21/32 " wrench will work.

Thanks for the responses.
