Woof, the shear pins you are recommending via eBay are after-market bolts/nuts as they are not the OEM replacement. my dealer stands by the Grade 5 so I am totally okay with it. Again if you feel better buying the original Honda then go for it. If your dealer "stands by" them, as in he'll rebuild your gearbox for free if it fails, then that's a great dealer. I know that people have used grade 5 without any issues but it worries me. I'd use grade 2 in a pinch but my preference would be for the shear pins specified for the machine. Most shear pins are either grooved or pre-stressed to insure that they will fail when the proper amount of force is applied. Also true shear pins may be easier to remove compared to regular bolts. Just my two cents.

The Canadian Ebay seller responded to my question regarding the "grade" or hardness of these replacement pins; " Hello these will fit the Hs 624. The grade is the exact replacement grade as specified by honda for this application. They would be commonly known as grade 8.8 metric." Can anyone tell what a "metric grade" might be?
