crank bolt question
I have a old sugino crankset and i need a 15mm socket to reach in and snug the crank bolt down. I went to the bike shop and bought the park tools crank wrench thinking it would fit went home and tried to use it and looked at the tool and its 14mm. So I went and looked for a 5/8 and 15mm socket and those would not fit either.
so my question is can i replace those bolts so that I can use the 14mm tool.

Usually the socket is two-sided, does it flip around?

Hi you need the Campi tool for those or I think a SnapOn thinwall will work
I would replace them with the 14s why not

it depends which tool mt Park ratcheting has 14 on one end 15 on the other. I think the nonratchet ones are 14 only
