Griff:
You'll find that turning the large hex is not easy because of the eccenter, especially when the shock and swaybar are still connected.
Some people buy a large wrench from a bicycle shop.
I found it easiest to disconnect the swaybar and shock and lift the weight off, then turning the bolt was easy.

Thanks Gunter,
I'll try your method, if not it's obviously a job for "Bicycle Repair Man!".

The size is 36 mm and the reason why they work is that the are thin enough to fit in behind.
