Parts for your 2008 Honda Odyssey-Wheel studs nuts

2008 Honda Odyssey wheel studs and nuts

Wheel studs and nuts are absolutely used on the 2008 Honda Odyssey. Honda’s factory service manual for the 2005–2010 Odyssey details wheel fitment with five press‑in wheel studs and matching taper‑seat wheel nuts per hub, with the specified wheel nut torque of 127 N·m (94 lbf·ft). The Honda electronic parts catalogue for the 2008 model also lists replacement “wheel stud” and “nut, wheel” components for both front and rear hubs. So wheel-studs-nuts are relevant to this vehicle.

On the 2008 Odyssey, the studs are pressed into the hub and the nuts clamp the wheel securely, providing the clamping force that keeps the wheel centred and tight against the hub face. The nuts use a tapered (conical) seat to match the wheel’s seat, helping to self‑centre as they’re torqued. Correct torque matters for even clamping, brake rotor runout control and to prevent stud fatigue.

As part of regular servicing or any tyre rotation, the Odyssey benefits from a quick check of the studs and nuts. Threads should be clean and dry—Honda service information calls for no oil, grease or anti‑seize on the threads. Any nut that’s rounded, seized, swollen or rusty should be replaced. If a stud shows stretched, galled or cross‑threaded threads, or if one has snapped from over‑tightening with a rattle gun, it’s time to fit a new one.

• Tightening: Use a torque wrench and a star pattern to 127 N·m (94 lbf·ft) on cool wheels, recheck after 50–100 kilometres following wheel service.
• Do not lubricate threads, only light surface rust remover on exposed portions if needed, then wipe clean and dry.
• Wheel-to-hub face: Keep it clean and flat—light corrosion here can cause torque loss.

Replacing a stud on an Odyssey is straightforward with the right tools. Remove the caliper and rotor, press the damaged stud out from the back of the hub, and draw the new stud in squarely with a stud installer and suitable spacers while supporting the hub. Avoid hammering, which can stress the hub bearing. Always match the replacement stud’s thread (commonly M12 x 1.5) and knurl size to the hub.

Done right, fresh, correctly torqued wheel nuts on solid studs keep the big Honda riding safely and free of shakes, squeaks or warped rotors.

Popular questions about 2008 Honda Odyssey wheel studs and nuts

What’s the correct torque for the wheel nuts?
Honda service information specifies 127 N·m (94 lbf·ft) for the 2008 Odyssey. Tighten in a star pattern on cool wheels, then recheck torque after 50–100 km if the wheel’s been off recently. Avoid over‑tightening with impact tools, which can stretch studs and distort rotors.

Are the wheel nuts conical or ball‑seat?
The Odyssey uses tapered (conical) seat wheel nuts to match the wheel. Using the wrong seat type can damage the wheel and reduce clamping force, so always fit nuts that match the wheel’s seat profile.

Can a broken stud be replaced without changing the whole hub?
Yes—typically one stud at a time can be pressed out and a new one drawn in after removing the caliper and rotor. On some corners, clearance behind the hub may require repositioning the splash shield or hub. Use a proper press/installer and support the hub to protect the bearing.
