I'm in the process of torquing down the nuts that come with the Golden Eagle head studs (GSR) and I got to 25 ft. lbs. ok. I only had a 14mm 6 point socket. This socket will not hold another 25 without stripping the nuts. I called GE last night and told them what I just did, and I was told to get a 12 point 14mm socket. I went out and got one and its way too big. So, since they are not going to tell me the right size, does anyone here know which one to use? I just can't keep going back and forth to Sears (in the next town over) to keep trying to match this up!

I can't believe I'm stuck on something this stupid

 

why not take a nut with you?

i think i remember some of them being 12 pt 13mm
