This nut is a common problem apparently.
Has anyone replaced it with something else?
Honda part is: 90216-POA-000 which replaced 90216-PTO-000. Anybody know the difference between the two?
I'm thinking of getting a 10mm coupling nut, 25mm tall, high grade. The idea is that'll act like the tension bolt on the alternator - plenty to grip and more room to get a socket on there. There is a little gasket that is designed to go around the Honda part, but I'll just run a bead of silicone RTV to keep the oil out (sealing to cover, which will of course need to be re-done if I undo it later) and call it a day. Maybe add another washer, as the original is flanged at base.
Does anybody know the bolt pitch? (edit: 1.25)
Any reason why this is a bad idea?
