Set Ring Guide
Most Honda cars (except '86 and later Accords, and '88 and later Preludes) use 26 mm set rings on the driveshafts. However, there are two types of 26
mm set ring; the difference between the two is their wire diameter.
Obviously, using the wrong set ring will either make it hard to engage the driveshaft or make it easy for the driveshaft to pop out. So, remember: always
install a new set ring any time you remove a driveshaft, and always make sure that you're installing the right one.
