If I understand the term correctly, brake pipe spanners are enclosed tools designed to fit bleed nipples. What you have there is a standard hexagon nut with a pipe through the middle of it. If an open ended spanner doesn't work, it will be necessary to destroy the fitting and buy a new one, but that will mean creating a new flare on the pipe. The equipment can be bought (I recommend the Sykes Pickavant Flaremaster 2) and no special skill is required with the right tools.
I'm afraid Simon that you will have to be patient and allow the time necessary to deal with what is, after all, a common problem on anything exposed to rainwater which is unprotected.
