Honda odyssey axle replacement
- Thread starter Eagle
- Start date
I've done axles on a civic and a crx and it was the same deal as a Gp. Id assume an odyssey would be the same or similar. Just pop it out.
Only other way I've seen an axle held in place is with a roll pin.
It may or may not leak trans fluid when you pull it out so keep that in mind. The focus poured all over the place but my Subaru didn't.

i can check alldata when i get in for you. what year car?
should be fairly simple. pop off wheel, probably remover lower shock mount to knuckle, remove tierod, tip it down and slide the spline end out and slide it out of the trans. ill double check for you and post in like 30.
i did an axle yesterday on a volvo and had like you described. bad vibration while driving. i could tell ti was the axles cuase the vib would settle down if i was coasting and not on the gas. customer bought control arms and wheel hubs thinking it was that. axle just broke at the middle cv.

And yea, thats EXACTLY what the van is doing... coasting its nearly non-existent but when you get on the gas at all it shakes like a SOB. I told her its parked until the axle gets replaced because seriously... it shakes so bad I was scared to drive it at all for fear of like cracking the trans case.
Isn't is scary how far women will drive a car acting like that? Drove somebodys car that pulled so hard to the left you had to wrestle with the wheel just to drive straight.
As far as the axle it shouldn't be that bad just make sure you don't tweak the seal if it has one as those are a pain ( at least in my limited fwd experience)

All of the civics I've worked on (89-2000) have had 'non servicable automatics' where there is no pan/filter to drop. I suspect maybe the van is the same? All of the honda axles I worked with just popped out with a gentle nudge from a pry bar.
All I have that's useful input though is to stay the fuck away from cheap replacements, and spring for a good reman, or an OEM axle, and not a 'new' one from Napa etc. I snapped the SHIT out of a Napa axle on my 95 civic that was only making like 150hp.....

I got a Autozone axle with a lifetime warranty. It was literally 1/4 the price of the dealer axle, which has no warranty at all. If it gives me issues, I'll look into something else. I've had good luck with AZ's axles in the past.
This thing is totally a grocery getting mobile. It's not driven hard at all. I'm not too concerned about the axle snapping.
... completely scary what she was just driving with. She insisted that it got worse that day... right on the way home... but hadn't told me anything about it until I was driving everyone in the car that evening.

from what i read
remove wheel
remove axle nut
remove stabilizer link( one of the end will be fine),
then either remove the lower mounts of the shock to knuckle if that will give you freeplay to pull it towards you or remove the lower balljoint mount to tip the bottom out,
remove tierods,
slide axles out of the hub and it just slide out the trans.
for filling, that plug you saw is correct. it will have a small gasket. should be able to reuse. it has a mini dipstick on the end of the plug.

See she not so secretly hates the van... I think maybe she had a not so secret plan to BLOW IT UP forcing us to get her something else.
This is not Sarah's first attempt. I remember when she ran the fuel tank all the way to empty and fried the fuel pump.
