Honda Toolkit

[pekingduck]

Elusive part number 5 is simply a 6mm Allen wrench (p/n 89221-460-840) used to tighten the axle pinch bolts on the forks. It was first removed from the tool kit listing because of the hex wrench embargo resulting from fake hex wrenches from China being sold on Amazon. Some of the hex wrenches had 7 sides. Some had 5 sides, but came with a triangle shaped piece that you could slip into the bolt head as the 6th side.

Back around the 1st of April, a passenger on a plane bound for the US from mainland China was caught with several exotic parrots inside his coat that had been sedated. The birds were x-rayed and found to have 6mm hex wrenches in their stomachs! The hex wrenches have been found buried inside heroin and pot bundles smuggled in from Mexico.

Until this international crisis can be resolved, Honda is omitting them from the tool kits listings. However, they are working on a hex shaped sleeve to slide over the 5mm Allen wrench with 0.5mm thick walls to enlarge it to 6mm, but only in prototype stage now. However, the price will likely exceed the cost of a new Grom.
