Anyone have a full list of socket/wrench sizes needed* for the 2nd Gen?
*Needed for maintenance and common mods, mostly - if the big ends use an odd size external torx, that's interesting, but it probably won't affect me. I'd search the service manual, but I haven't found it.
Thanks |

i don't think there was ever a list for the 1st gen.
8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, and up for more serious tasks phillips screw drivers e-torx bits normally that covers the typical stuff. but all the sockets and every e-torx usually come in a set

most everything that one would typically work on for fun or maintenance is covered with just the 8-14mm socket and phillips screwdrivers.
anything larger, or oddball like e-torx is stuff that they don't fully intend a typical person to get into. so it really just depends on how far down the rabbit hole you're going.

Thanks - I wanted to check if external hex needs would be covered by a standard SAE/Metric set and it sounds like that's the case.

A good torque wrench will be helpful.

You can be pretty sure that the car uses JIS Metric Standard for hardware (being a Japanese made car and all).
99% of things you do on the car, you will encounter the following:
Shit kinda hits the fan when you start adding aftermarket parts. Companies vary where they get their hardware from, so the socket sizes will differ from JIS (usually ISO or DIN), sometimes even including SAE! --------------- If you don't already have a toolkit, I recommend the Harbor Freight 301 pc Mechanic's set (especially right now that Harbor Freight has a 25% off any single item coupon!). It has practically everything on the above list and then some, with almost no missing pieces, and a bunch of other handy stuff to have. I bought one when I first started wrenching, and haven't needed to add much to it other than specialty and quality-of-life type tools. The single exception is that it's missing a 14mm combo wrench, but that's easy to add. Last edited by EndlessAzure; 12-31-2022 at 03:07 AM. |

Thanks for the detailed reply. I have a good socket set, but, like most, it tops out at 19mm, so I was curious what I might encounter outside of that range. Is there a practical difference between JIS Metric Standard fasteners and other metric standard fasteners? I presume the size difference in head is axial, meaning there's less material and a greater risk of rounding, for a given alloy? If so, good thing I have six-point sockets...

The practical difference is that in the JIS standard, there is a specific table linking bolt diameter to both socket size and pitch. There are a few exceptions on the car proper, but generally you don't have to guess at a fastener.
