KIWhile Hondas and other Japanes autos aren’t our bread and butter can with complete assurance state they all metric throughout. Yes you need purchase metric impact sockets period. If any fastener is sticking in an impact socket the issue is either a Chinese socket or using SAE/Metric mix of socket and fastener. May I strongly suggest sourcing quality wheel sockets which have a design to protect the wheel from scarring. Hazet makes a high quality affordable socket. Do you have a set of calipres?  Take a measure and PM me; will provide an exact part number for you. Most of Odessey are 22mm IIRC, most Accord (and most Honda autos) are 19mm IIRC.

You can NOT trust your torque spec if using mismatched socket!!

PM with sizes your calipres reveal and will hook you up. Whatever you do avoid Harbor Freight and suggest even avoiding Canadian Tire.

Hi Dan,  I don't have callipers - I'll look for a set of metric impact sockets, maybe even replace the imperial ones I have.  I've had them a long time don't know the brand but I likely bought them at Canadian Tire or Home Depot.  

You know, not being a mechanic I've probably fallen into the same trap that a lot of guys do.  I don't go for the cheapest but there is a lot more to quality than just price.  I should know this because as a former carpenter in a past life back in the early 80s I was always picky about the tools I used and I always told my wife not to ever buy me tools unless she had the brand, model/serial # because it wouldn't be the right one.  Somehow I didn't extend that logic to mechanics tools.

Hazet is an absolute price bargain and world class quality in wheel socket

I looked them up - you can't beat German engineering.  Thats the one I'll be looking for . I like the soft exterior to protect wheels too.  Now to find a source in Canada.

If not let me know will hook you up rem to get sizes you need first.

Also knock out the internal spacer at the end - feels metal but just a nylon sleeve.  Use punch and dead blow hammer open end against a table to pound it out.  Really helps
