Yes, 12mm. Try an offset ring spanner or socket on a 1/4 inch ratchet or T-bar

You can gain a bit more space for access by removing the bolts at each side of the top of the radiator and tilting the radiator forward an inch or so.

thanks all i have done all tbese things prior to asking for help it appears that the bolt head was less than 12mm after the dealership fixed the blown crank pully and tighted it with a gorrilla. sso 12mm no longer fits even a 6 sided socket.
kind of stuffed at mo horse shoe nail, etc.

Try an 11mm or a knackered bolt extractor
