don't go crazy, just tap on it fairly lightly a few times to try and jar the threads a little.
and another thing, try using the shortest extension as possible or right on the bolt head with no extension if you have the room. the more direct torque you can put on the bolt the head the better. extensions are sponges for torque.

Use your 14mm... make sure to use METRIC, do not use SAE tools. Make sure the size is exactly correct. I assume that you're having trouble getting the 14mm tool in there. Don't use the ratcheting wrench... use a spanner (that dohickey with one closed end and one open end).
So attach the closed end around the bolt, and then loop the closed end of the next-size-up spanner around the open end of the 14mm spanner. This will make the two tools attached, and give you more torque to pull the 14mm with the other spanner. Then ******* put both your feet on your fender and pull with all your might!
Just keep doing that and it'll come... I guarantee it.
If you're having problems understanding what I'm talking about attaching two spanners... just fiddle around with attaching two spanners together, and you'll figure it out. Basically, just put the CIRCLE of one around one of the open ends of the other. It'll create a double-tool of sorts...

lol - great mental image there!
If you've been stripping the bolt, you will have a harder time getting the spanner on it. You might need to get some sandpaper or a file in there to clean up the bolt head a bit. Once you do that, a 14mm spanner should slip on there no problem. Good luck!
