Bolt won't budge ?

Or a length of pipe over the end. I would also take a center punch and strike the inside of the allen bolt to shock it and break the bond. Similar affect as an impact driver.

If you're doing any of your own wrenching on a Harley, you really need to buy a set of allen head sockets. Even a cheap set will get you by, with a socket and 3/8" ratchet you would probably be able to break that bolt. Almost impossible with a hand key wrench.

Just go and get the propped socket. Buy just the one you need and it will only cost a couple of bucks. That way you do not have to MacGyver a fix. Also as said before PB boaster is much better than WD-40. Buy some when you get the socket.

Just pick up a universal swivel with the sockets. It will get you on to the bolt at a bit of an angle which will be what you need.
