I read that it can round your bolt and that is something I don't want to do.
Got mine at autozone, there was no issue finding a 6 point 24mm. Look elsewhere if you're concerned.

Quick question.
I just did the transmission fluid change.
Can I reuse the oil pump for the differential fluid change ?
There is obviously a bit of the tranny fluid left in the pump but would this affect anything ?
I guess I could do a few pumps with diff fluid since the diff takes less than a quart so I would still have enough left to fill in the differential.
Thanks.

No, don't use syncromesh. Honda doesn't have a diff fluid for the S2000. Mobil 1 and Amsoil are popular diff fluid brands.
And yes you can reuse the pump, but like you said, just pump a bit of the diff fluid through it to clean it up.

Thanks spets !
The challenge is to find a 23mm socket that will fit together with the torque wrench between the bar and the diff. I might just have to use a regular 23mm wrench. OSH has them for $15.
Where did you guys get your torque wrench/socket combination from ?
I got a 23mm socket from Kragen but it doesn't fit together with the torque wrench so I have to either find a lower profile combination or use a regular wrench and torque by hand.
Suggestions ?
