Will an AF or WW size fit?

Your only other option would be to pack an oversized socket with shims of the correct thickness.

You could try using mild steel plate (easier to cut/fold into sixes) but it may still be far too soft & muller your nuts, if they are too tight.

You're still gonna need a new tool though.

I doubt you'll get the nuts off without damaging them as they are a 7 sided nut, so unless you have the proper removal tool the only way would be to bang a normal hexagon socket over the end, damaging them in the process.

£20 will get you some spare nuts and a new tool though......

Assuming that they are the same size of course.
