Philip, you can get a very large Hex Key (I forget the size but it should be
easy enough to measure) but probably will find little other use for it. The
last time I did this, I used the head of a same size bolt, double nutted it
to give a turning surface, and backed it out with a wrench on the inner nut.

Cheers
Keith
