Seriousley, as said try a pair of mole grips if you can get to it or try tapping it with a chisel and hammer.

I've got a specialised tool that will remove it, without question.

I'll need your word I'll have it back though, it was expensive kit :y

Sorry don`t know whats wrong with me tonight must be the heat wave here ;D ;D
perhaps mole grips would be the better idea and a bit of muscle power to go with it.

Before that, try an imperial 1/2inch spanner, it's just sliiiightttly tighter than 13mm, and may grip it..

And you can really get your nuts off here (http://search.ebay.co.uk/bolt-remover_W0QQ_trksidZm37QQfromZR40).

But I'm sure the offer of a free lend is far better.
