I have run through all my metric deep sockets...nothing seems to grab.

Tips/Tricks for getting this damn thing out?

Thanks!

I believe there is a special socket just for that purpose. Similar to a spark plug socket. Should be available at most auto parts stores. Auto Zone, etc,. Etc.

I believe the stock ones are 24mm, I've seen a few aftermarket with rounded shoulders almost 12 point. They aren't in that tight so maybe some paper stuffed into the socket that fits closest would be enough to grab it.

Indeed it was a 24mm.

Had to wrap a little gaffers tape around the socket to grab, but spun right out.

Thanks all.
