I believe you'll need a 21mm socket to get it off, if you didn't already.

Thx for the help, I figured it was just another sign of an unknowlegable wanna-be mechanic. I am just glad he "didn't have a tool large enough to get the engine apart..." LOL....

******* a, its almost like they came from the factory pre-rounded, be very careful with that bolt, i would definaly order a new set of lines and bolts incase you have problems, and, its always nice to change things like that

This is why you get a dedicated 6-point socket for it, and try not to use a 12-point one.

I am with ted on that worth the $25 after you round it off you can use a curved jaw vice grip and a hammer to get it off and then throw it away.
