According to my verniers:
27mm is about a inch and a 16th.
26mm is about a inch and 1/32.
Is it likely to be a inch and 3/64th?
Or maybe another size like whitworth...
That is getting too technical......
Commonly, axle nuts and similar get removed with a six, or even, eight sided tube spanner. A lot of sockets have a dozen or more
"corners" and only grab on the shoulders, not the flats, of the nut, and with a bit of wear, they feel loose, but sometimes do the job.
A field cure i've used ISN'T TECHNICAL. ....
Just hammer and punch or cold chisel near the shoulder and its loose. 
Or #justplainrootednow.

asuming its a castle nut it will be 27 but you should use a 6 sided socket not a 12.
if its still crazy tight get a can of freeze, and hit the end of the axle with that, it may be enough.
take the bike to your local auto part store and ask to try a single hex 27mm (six sided socket) to see if it fits, and simply undo the nut then take it back in and say it didnt fit |

If you go back in time and watch back to the future, Michael J Fox banged his head on the steering wheel of the delorion that got it going again. It must be that damn flux-capacitor
