egr - rusted nut removal

Hi, my car is 1997 maxima.
Need to replace EGR but unable to remove rusted nut.
Please advise how to remove it. I've tried W4 and it doesn't work.

Also, please tell me size of this nut so I can buy tube wrench.

Thank you in advance.
Best wishes and Happy New Year. ):O)

Gonna have to torch it a bit. I had to use an adjustable wrench to get it out. The problem you will have is the threads from the nut will be worn down and you would have to replace the pipe completely that goes into the exhaust manifold. Can't remember how much I paid for it.
