17mm hex head socket

[Craig D. Niederst]

I tried the 17mm bolt in the vice grip trick last night. All I did was to
really mess up the threads on the bolt. I had the bolt held in the vice
grips VERY tightly. I also tries some heat, but was unsuccessful. I guess I
need the proper socket/allen key to get that sucker loose.
