if not you are just about fvcked.
goe to sears and get a bolt out set and see if you and hammer it in on the outside of the allen(hex) whole.
make sure it is solide in there you nee a looooooottttt of torque to break that loose.

tread is normal clockwise to titghen and counterclock to loosen.

thanks

ive decided to torch it and pry gently with a big hammer and chisel.

just try in to do a simple bearing swap and completely stripped my hex bolt. cars been sitting on stilts for 3 days now.

do you think my method will work?

to use a hex bit in imperial slightly larger than 14mm, and pound it in with a hammer, then turn it out. Dunno if that'll work, but if possible, it's worth a try.

there's not much else you can do to get it out.

not yet try some of teh ideas every one said and than if nothing else works torch it, you might damage the hub or cv joint(boot).

you gotta know the problem is that bolt is put on using lots of torque.
