Have you loosen the locknut first? You can use a punch or cut a socket to fit the locknut. If you meant what to use to remove the entire pivot bolt, you can double nut a bolt and use it as an allen bit. I'm not sure whats the size but its either 14mm or 17mm.

It is 17mm, Honda also makes a special tool for it, but it doesn't come cheap. Most guys just cut up a socket to make one

Here is the Honda tool.

Heres an example of what it could look like. A dremel and cutting discs should do it.
