Find some 22mm nuts and a bolt, and lock them together, and use a spanner on it.

How odd. Can you take a picture? What bike is it?

[vbroom]

we tried that sam..but its next to impossible to find a 22mm head bolt. they have 20 and 24..but as luck would have it no 22.

22mm = 7/8"

If you can find an M14 bolt and nut from a proper fastener supplier (eg Coventry/Sweetman etc) that has a 22mm hex head A/F.
Likewise a 1/2" heavy or structural bolt has 7/8 AF.

Here's a useful reference Bolt Markings

A lot of bikes have this set up. Depending on what kind of bike you got, check it out on yours...

I assume you have left the axle pinch bolts tight before you tried to losen the axle nut? Have you got a pic of the nut or at least, what kind of bike is it? I got some tools here to do the job, if you get stuck.

thanks for all the offers guys.. should be all sorted now!

bike is an 07 zx6r.. both sides need a 22mm hex key to undo the front wheel

Ah, ok, makes sense now! If you got any more issues, let me know...

Ahh I see. Just mentioning as I had the same thing happen ages ago, only to find out I was looking to undo the wrong end! Much embarrassment ensued.

The outside of my spark plug socket that comes with the bikes tool kit fits my front nut

The hex part of some sparkplug sockets also fit.
