Yeah, fortunately I have admin access and can edit the post!

It's sunday and tool shops aren't open. So I'm stuck with Bunnings (like Home Depot). They don't have a 24mm but do have a 15/16ths. By my calculation that comes to 23.8mm. Damn I hope it's loose tolerance.

Do you have your new sensor handy? Can you bring it with you to test fit? Careful not to overtorque it, the housing can fracture.

Yay! Success at last.

Can't believe how long (including two trips to the hardware store) it takes to get a damn sensor out.

I don't have another Honda sensor but I have a Toyota one with the same thread (and an even larger body) which I have fitted in it's place. I am using a knock box Chris Barry lent me that can be calibrated for all kinds of sensors.

Now for tuning.
