It was an 18mm bolt, the 11/16" wrench just happened to fit it better I assume. Not many new vehicles have ANY standard size fasteners on them, if they do, it's rare.

...and on a side note...

I wish our country would just switch to the metric system and be done with it, it's so much simpler.

Im not sure what the reason was but I started it off with an 18mm socket and it was fine till i put the torque wrench on it and it slipped off so I switched to a 11/16 socket and it worked like a charm.
