I buggered a hub/bearing mounting bolt on a 96 dodge grand caravan.
I couldn't use a box wrench on the 15mm bolt because the ABS tone wheel is in the way.
In addition the bolt itself seems to be in between sizes. 15mm, 5/8, & 19/32 too big &14mm too small.
Can anyone please help me?

?? Can you get a six point socket or wrench in there? Try 9/16 for a rounded 15mm and hammer it on - could trash tool and bolt is done anyway - up to you. If you have any decent shot at it there are tools for "stud extraction" that may work,

Go to your local parts house and ask for a socket that will remove rounded bolts and nuts. Thet are an easy way to remove them. They are helical cut to grab harder the more you try to loosen them.
