I got the new 10mm socket and still could not get on the bolt. So finally I removed the part and just looked at the bolt and socket. There is a raised area on the alternator right up against the place the bolt has to go in that prevented anything from getting on the bolt. I took my dremel and took some of that raised area off and turned down the outside of the socket a bit and now it will go on.
After a brief respite I will go back and put the stupid egr valve back on!
