Okay, cool! Waiting on Amazon, ordered a 1/2" drive 19mm for it. In other news, I managed to break the extractor off inside of the stripped valve cover bolt. I do not have access to a welder. JB weld an allen wrench I don't care about in there?

I'm going to change the outer boot without removing the whole shaft this summer by going through from the inner side. I don't want to mess with the big bolt.
Cheers,
Louis

Doable, I imagine, just a pain working around everything else. I'm certain I can get it off, it's the valve cover bolt with a nut JB welded on top that concerns me. If that fails to help remove it, I'm taking it to a shop for that.
