If you broke that 14mm bolt loose with a small wrench the first time you should enter arm wrestling contests. The bolt is on really really tight from the factory. After I broke loose for the 1st time it is easy to loosen as I torque it to the factory spec of 40lbft( for some reason it is on much tighter than 40lbft from factory). Now that it's torqued properly I could probably break it free with my long handle matco 1/4!drive ratchet.
