Start with open end 14mm, hex is fully inserted with 1-2mm to spare. Break it loose. Then insert the 14mm hex through the 14mm ratcheting end (still 80-90% of the way in), and back the bolt out until you can just use your fingers to remove it.

Would like to report that this approach worked perfectly, using these tools that many of us already have. It was easy to navigate the socket + wrench into the space, and I used a small screwdriver pressed against the back of the socket to help get it in place. Once I put a little pressure on it, it held in place for me to give it a few whacks with the mallet to break it loose. Used fingers to remove it the rest of the way.
