Parts for your 2013 Honda Odyssey-Wheel studs nuts

2013 Honda Odyssey wheel studs and nuts

Wheel studs and nuts are absolutely used on the 2013 Honda Odyssey. Honda’s Owner’s Manual (2013 Odyssey, Wheels and Tyres) and the Honda Service Manual (2011–2013 Odyssey, Suspension/Hub and Wheel sections) specify five hub-pressed wheel studs per hub with matching lug nuts, tightened to 127 N·m (94 lbf·ft). The Honda Electronic Parts Catalogue also lists separate part numbers for “wheel stud” and “wheel nut” for this model, confirming the setup.

On the 2013 Odyssey, the wheel studs are pressed into the hub and the lug nuts clamp the wheel firmly to the hub face. That clamping force is what keeps the wheel located and safe under braking, cornering and towing. It’s a simple, robust system that makes wheel changes quick, but it does rely on clean threads and correct torque.

As part of servicing, it’s smart to give the studs and nuts a once-over any time tyres are rotated, brakes are done, or wheels are off. Check for stretched or stripped threads, rust pitting, damaged nut seats and any signs of cross-threading. Nuts should spin on by hand for several turns, any binding or gritty feel is a red flag. Fitment should always be dry—Honda’s guidance is not to lubricate the threads or seats—then torque in a star pattern to 127 N·m with a calibrated torque wrench. If a rattle gun is used, finish by hand with a torque wrench. Recheck torque after 50–100 km following a wheel-off service.

• Replace a stud if threads are damaged, if it won’t hold torque, or if it’s been over‑stretched (necked).
• Replace nuts if the cones/seats are deformed, chrome is flaking into the threads, or they won’t run on smoothly by hand.
• Use the correct seat style and length for OEM Honda wheels to maintain proper clamping.

Stud replacement involves pressing or driving the damaged stud out of the hub flange and pulling in a new one squarely using a suitable tool and spacer, avoid drawing it in with an impact gun as it can gall threads or mis-seat the stud. With quality parts installed and the right torque applied, Odyssey owners can expect long, trouble-free service from their wheel studs and nuts.

Popular questions about 2013 Honda Odyssey wheel studs and nuts

What’s the correct wheel nut torque for a 2013 Odyssey?
Honda specifies 127 N·m (94 lbf·ft). Tighten in a star pattern on a clean, dry stud and recheck after 50–100 km if the wheel has been off. Using a torque wrench rather than relying solely on a rattle gun helps protect studs, nuts and brake rotors.

Is it safe to drive with a missing or broken wheel stud?
It’s not recommended. The remaining studs carry extra load and can loosen or fail, especially over bumps or when braking hard. If a stud snaps or a nut is missing, drive gently to a workshop and have it repaired as soon as possible.

How can an owner tell if studs or nuts need replacing?
Look for cross‑threading, flattened or rusty threads, nuts that bottom out before clamping, or a nut that never reaches torque. Any clicking from the wheel under load, or a nut that repeatedly loosens, also points to wear or damage. Replace the affected hardware and torque correctly.
