Allen key size for swingarm removal

Can anyone remember the allen key size required to undo the main swingarm bolt that goes through the frame?

I have removed the nut on the LHS and the castellated nut on the RHS, but the bolt head seems to have two allen sizes and the smaller one (which I assume is the one used for removal) seems to be 11mm which is quite an odd size.

Any ideas welcome!

Cheers

Can't remember the size but as 'allen' keys that size are rare I got one from halfords, look for the drain plug adapters.

I can confirm that it IS a 14mm allen head as I swapped swingarms a few days ago.
