Yeah but you can get bigger ones as well, got my one from the markets, look ....do you have a rattle gun? if you run it at a really low pressure it might work..... not sure about electric ones if they have a settings
External nuts have a way bigger surface area & can take a pounding, this is what I am getting at about having to be careful, if it strips than you are farked.

i already cut one off with the grinder yesterday

i used washers to shim the engine but i wanna do it the correct way so i think im already farked

i dont have a rattle gun i found one on super cheap autos site for $20 but there sold out around here so im back to the start again will any 1/2" hammer driven impact wrench work? i also called a local auto shop the bloke asked what was i doing with the hex socket i explained and he said he can order a 14mm hex socket in next week for $15 and i found one of those drivers for $25

If you can get the Hex socket with 3/8" drive, or possibly use an adaptor from 1/2 inch to 3/8 inch it could work, there are quite a few options.
Kennards have rattle guns but not the 14mm hex

now i feel like a real dick head

today i went and bought the 14mm hex socket had to pay $20 for it today or wait untill tomorrow for $10 i couldnt wait i also went and bought a air impact wrench seems i didnt need it with a 1/2" crack bar and the hex socket the bolts came loose now these is where i feel like a dick head i was just thinking about getting rid of the bike when i grinded off the hex section of the bolt and used washers to center the engine now i am going to atlease get the bike on the road and look at the bolt how would i get this undone? the bolt comes out thru the engine side it doesnt unscrew out of the frame so a ezi out wont work as thats a reverse thread

get a bolt that fits into the centre of that one and weld it there,or is it a alloy bolt that you cut the hex head off

Cut the slot just wide enough to get a nice big screwdriver onto it sideways, use the screwdrive like a jemmy bar....
or even better if you have a little jemmy bar (pry bar)

the inside diameter of that bolt is 16mm so it will need to be a massive screw driver

are there any other options that u can think of?
