Hi everyone!

Situation is this:
I have my S in the garage torn apart for a gearbox change.
I managed to get the prop shaft bolts out, although some of them took a beating.
I´d like to put in new bolts when I put it together, and I can see from the EPC that I need 6 8x60, and 6 8x65 bolts. I just can´t remember if the bolts had the regular 1,0 thread, or the shorter/tighter 1,5 or 2,0 thread as many bolts used in Hondas do. Anyone remember which one they were?

I think I´m better off going with 10.9 bolts rather than 8.8?

Thanks in advance!

You need honda allen head bolts. Regular hex head bolts will cut through the shield and you will sling grease out of the joints.

I replace those with some steel hex 8 grade bolts about the same length as the stock ones and its been fine so far since 2011. I check it a couple of times after some long trip drive because i read somewhere that it could back out and its all fine. Just take the allen head bolt to ace or homedepot and use their thread sheet or chart to find your thread pitch.

Oops, sorry for my bad english. Allen head bolts were the ones I meant.
Anyone have any idea about how fine the thread is? I´m guessing it´s 1,5 but I´m not 100% sure.

They are 8x1.25 bolts.
