I'm planning to do my front wheel bearings on our '07 odyssey this month. The whole press-grind-press thing. I've got good tools, pretty sure i know what needs to be done, but it's been like 20 years since i did this particular thing, ha ha. Throw out any tips or tricks if you've got 'em!

Swapping the whole hub assembly is a much easier way to go. Back all the bolts about halfway out and use an air hammer on the bolt head to push the hub out. Air hammering the cv shaft in as you go. Soaking things down with penetrating oil a day or so before might help too. Clean up the rust and use anti-seize before assembly makes life easier. -
All the guys I work with schedule "customer demos" for our 100 ton hydraulic jaw puller the week they do their hubs. If you can find one to rent, they're pretty fantastic.Feedback

Did 07 the Odyssey have captive rotors? I thought they had a unified assembly like most other cars by that point. I thought all Honda's had by then. I left the Honda dealer quite a long time ago though...

ugh, good catch on the captive rotors part.
i forgot all about those. might be easier to get a hub/bearing assembly.
keep the knuckle warm and the bearing/hub cold.
looks like a pretty straight forward process. just time consuming, dirty, greasy.
think of how much a shop would charge and keep telling yourself that. lolComment

And this weekend I'm replacing the sliding door rollers on my 2010 Odyssey 😂 a much more simple task than what you're up against!
Cool vans, never had a Honda until this one. Muzzled it right away.Comment

iirc the odyssey had a cool PAX rim(tire)? incase the tire goes flat, the vehicle could still drive (or something).Comment

Yeaj=h, looked into it and they are definitely the press-in kind, not a hub assembly. For the fronts at least. I'm also getting the rears off rock auto as well, and those ones ARE hub assemblies. much easier.
Yeah the PAX rims/tires, don't remind me. Currently running BMW rims as a temp fix since the honda dealership refuses to put new tires on my PAX rims anymore, and no tire shop will do those tires either because of the plastic run-flat donut inside the PAX rim.

Oh…you have the Touring Edition. With no spare and a lazy Susan instead. Also cylinder deactivation on one bank.
Lord those tires sucked. We had to buy a new machine just to mount them and the customers were very unhappy by how quickly those tires wore out.Comment
