A 7/32 socket or wrench will fit on a 5.5mm bolt, but poorly. You risk rounding off the head of the bolt if it's stuck very tight.

How to replace starter on Ford Taurus sho?

Remove battery ground to avoid shorting Raise the front of vehicle so there is enough space to work underneath the front of the engine. Locate the starter from the underside of the car. It is near the transmission, underneath the exhaust manifold, between the engine block and the radiator. Locate the two bolts holding the starter to the engine at oposite positions 2 and 7 o'clock approximately, viewed from the left side of car. The upper bolt is actually a stud with two metric sized nuts a 13mm (deep dish socket required)and a 15mm. The lower bolt requires a metric size 13mm socket The bolts are threaded into the starter from the transmission side of the engine First remove the size 15mm nut on the upper bolt (2 o clock position) this will allow removal of the gound strap from the engine along with the wire harness support. Loosen the bottom bolt(metric size 13mm) but do not remove completely Using the deep size 13mm socket remove the upper bolt Next, remove the lower bolt.The starter should still be supported in its cradle at this stage but as a precaution support it by hand while you remove the lower bolt. Pry the starter loose from its mounting Lower it between the cross member and the engine - a little maneuvering is required When you have lowered it remove the lead(s) Replace in reverse order.

If you have a socket that is 12mm what is that in regular socket?

Some where around 15/32 or 31/64.... its a 12mm... that's it... either you're working on something metric, or you're not. Use the right socket for the job. You'll be happier if you do. Incidentally, the nearest standard/SAE size is 7/16 which is smaller.
