Removing Rounded Timing Plate

Hi Guys,

Just in the middle of replacing my Cam Chain, got to removing the timing plate, and have found that the 19mm socket is rounded to f**k, so I am not even going to attempt to remove it the traditional way.

Is there any other way to stop the crankshaft from moving and getting the 6mm allen key bolt off? I thought that putting it in gear and holding the brake in would work but the crank seemed to still turn when I tried this.

Any ideas?

Thanks

However getting it refitted with a rounded off 19mm hex wont be so easy
