Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we show you how to replace a rear hub on this 2003 Honda Odyssey, it's pretty much the same procedure for any 1999 to 2004 Odyssey. We show you the right hand or passenger side. The procedure is the same for the left hand driver's side. To get the job done you'll need a new hub from 1AAuto.com, some jack and jack stands, a 19mm socket with a racket and breaker bar or your lug wrench will work. You'll need 36mm socket. Put that by itself because it's something that's not always in a regular toolbox. You'll need 12mm and 14mm wrenches or sockets and ratchet, impact driver, a hammer, a sharp cold chisel or an old screwdriver, a torque wrench and a large C-clamp.
First raise and support the vehicle. Then use a 19mm socket and breaker bar. If you're just using hand tools, actually, you want to loosen the lug nuts when the wheel's on the ground and the vehicle is in park. Loosen the lug nuts, first. Then, raise and support the vehicle. Remove the five lug nuts and remove the rear wheel.
In around behind the rotors, you've got two bolts. They're 12mm: here and here. I'm going to put a wrench on them, hook another wrench on there for some extra leverage, and loosen them. Just fast forward as we take them the rest of the way out. Now, we're going to grab on the caliper and pull it toward the outside of the vehicle. As we pull it out, that forces the piston back into the caliper and then loosens it up and it comes right off and then we can prop it up in behind. Then we take the pads out just by pulling them out of their brackets.
Now, we're putting a wrench on this 14mm bolt here. So, we want to remove this one and then this one up here. These two bolts hold the caliper bracket on. Just put a 14mm wrench on there and then hook a larger wrench onto it or use a larger handle socket and ratchet to loosen up those bolts and then remove them and remove the caliper. Fast forward here a little bit. Now, we're going to use an impact driver. We're going to load that into the screw and then you turn it counterclockwise, use a hammer and give it a good whack and it loosens up the bolt. Just fast forward as we remove the screws the rest of the way. Then hopefully your rear rotor comes off as well. If not, you can use a hammer.
Now use a sharp chisel, or you could use an old screwdriver, and remove the cap. The nut is speared here. So, we're just going to use our chisel again. Now, it's straightened out. Now, we're using a 36mm socket and an impact wrench to remove that nut. A note here: not everybody has air tools so you will need the 36mm socket but there's really no way to get around that but you could also use a large breaker bar to loosen it. It should pull off.
Make sure when you unwrap the hub that you take the keeper out and then just put the hub in and make sure the outer bearing goes in and seats correctly. Now, the new hub from 1A Auto is on there. Then, just thread on the bolt. Now, set your torque wrench to 181 foot-pounds and torque the nut on. Now, we're going to use a dull punch and serrate the nut.
Now install your new brake rotor from 1A Auto and then use the two screws. I'll fast forward as we put those back in to hold it in place. There's a small rubber plug, you want to force it out of the old rotor and then just put it into the new rotor and press in by hand, first. Then, grab a screwdriver and push it in the rest of the way.
Before you reinstall the brackets, you want to use a wire brush and clean the stainless steel slides. Some brake pads actually come with new ones. So, you either replace them or clean them up. Then, you make sure that your bolt slides are free and if they're not free or have too much or they're too sticky, pull them right out, clean them up and grease them.
Now, take your brackets and put them into place. Start the two bolts on. In a minute here, I'm just going to fast forward as I basically just get those bolts started and seated. Set your torque wrench to 45 foot-pounds. Now, you slide the outer pad in. It goes right into the slides. Then the inner one goes in the exact same way. Now, you'll want to take your caliper, use a large C-clamp and make sure you reset the piston. As you tighten it up, the piston gets pushed back into the caliper. Usually, just by pulling on it at the beginning, you're able to reset the piston, but you just want to make sure. Then you can slide the caliper right on. Now put your 12mm bolts back in. Set your torque wrench to 20 foot-pounds and tighten them up. Now put the dust cap back on. Put it in place and just tap it with a hammer.
Now, I'm going to fast forward, put the wheel back in place, start all five lug nuts on by hand first and then just preliminarily tighten them and then lower your vehicle to the ground. Now, set your torque wrench to 90 to 100 foot-pounds and torque the wheel using a star pattern.
Whenever you've had the brakes apart, just make sure that you pump the pedal a few times. Make sure it's nice and firm, and then, before you road test your vehicle just do test stops from five and 10 miles an hour, just to make sure the brakes are working properly.
