If you need more details on the topics listed below, bookmark them in the 2007–2010 Odyssey Service Manual, or view them online: 6. Pull the knuckle outward, and separate the driveshaft outboard joint from the front hub using a plastic hammer. • Stabilizer Link Removal/Installation • Lower Arm Removal/Installation • Ball Joint Removal 1. Raise and support the vehicle. 2. Remove the front wheel for the affected side. 3. Pry up the shoulder on the spindle nut, then remove the nut. SHOULDER 7. Left driveshaft: Place a drain pan under the transmission to catch any ATF that may come out during driveshaft removal. 8. Left driveshaft: Pry the inboard joint from the differential using a pry bar. Remove the driveshaft as an assembly. SPINDLE NUT 4. Separate the front stabilizer link from the damper. NOTE: • Do not pull on the driveshaft, or the inboard joint may come apart. Pull the inboard joint straight out to avoid damaging the oil seal. • Be careful not to damage the oil seal or the end of the inboard joint when using the pry bar. 5. Remove the lock pin from the lower arm ball joint castle nut, then remove the nut, and separate the ball joint from the lower arm using the ball joint thread protector and the ball joint remover. NOTE: • To avoid damaging the ball joint, install the ball joint thread protector onto the threads of the ball joint. Also, do not force or hammer on the lower arm, or pry between the lower arm and the knuckle. • Be careful not to damage the ball joint boot when installing the remover. INBOARD JOINT DRIVESHAFT 2 of 5 10-042 9. Right driveshaft: Drive the inboard joint off of the intermediate shaft using a 24-inch or longer striking pry bar (Snap-on SBPS24 or equivalent) and a dead-blow hammer. Remove the driveshaft as an assembly. NOTE: Do not pull on the driveshaft, or the inboard joint may come apart. 24 INCH STRIKING PRY BAR DRIVESHAFT INBOARD JOINT 11. Clean all driveshaft joint and splined mating surfaces on the vehicle with solvent, and dry them with compressed air. NOTE: Do not clean any rubber parts with solvent. 12. Apply about 5 g of Moly 60 Paste to the contact area of the outboard joint and the front wheel bearing. NOTE: The paste helps to prevent noise and vibration. CONTACT AREA OF OUTBOARD JOINT (P/N 08734-0001) PRY BAR 13. Right driveshaft: Install a new set ring into the set ring groove of the intermediate shaft. SET RING GROOVE 10.

This allows air to bleed from the intermediate shaft during installation and when driving. 16. Install the outboard joint into the front hub. HUB SPLINED SURFACE (Apply grease.) P/N 08798-9002 OUTBOARD JOINT 17. Wipe off any grease contamination from the ball joint tapered section and threads, then install the knuckle onto the lower arm. Torque the new castle nut to 59 N.m (43 lb-ft), then tighten it only far enough to align the slot with the ball joint pin hole. SET RING GROOVE 15. Insert the inboard end of the driveshaft into the differential or onto the intermediate shaft until the set ring locks into the groove. NOTE: • Be careful not to damage the ball joint boot. • Do not align the castle nut by loosening it. LOCK PIN KNUCKLE NOTE: To prevent oil seal damage, insert the driveshaft straight (horizontally) into the differential or the intermediate shaft.
