What size wrench is needed for the gland and lock nut? I can't quite tell if it's 2 1/4 or 2 1/2.
 
This is the wrench you need to break the lock nut free. You might need to attach a breaker bar to the handle of it if the lock nut is corroded tight. This wrench opens to 2-5/8":

Also, you need to get this plumbing slip wrench to place on the adjusting packing nut to hold it in place while you break the lock nut free:

After the lock nut is free, use the slip wrench to make very, very small adjustments to the packing nut to get the right drip rate.
