Parts for your 2017 Honda Odyssey-Wheel studs nuts

2017 Honda Odyssey wheel studs and nuts

For the 2017 Honda Odyssey, wheel studs and nuts are absolutely relevant and fitted from factory. Technical sources including the 2017 Honda Odyssey Owner’s Manual (Changing a Flat Tyre), the Honda Service Manual (Wheel Installation/Tightening), and the Honda Genuine Parts Catalogue for this model all show a five-stud hub with separate lug nuts. These sources also specify a wheel nut tightening torque of 127 N·m (94 lbf·ft), confirming the design uses studs and nuts rather than wheel bolts.

On the Odyssey, wheel studs are press-in fasteners on the hub, and the lug nuts clamp the wheel securely against the hub face. Their job is simple but vital: keep the wheel centred and tight under all loads, from school runs to towing the trailer. When the nuts are torqued correctly in a star pattern, they apply even clamping force, preventing brake rotor distortion and wheel wobble.

As part of routine servicing or any time the wheels come off, it’s smart to give the studs and nuts a quick once-over. Look for damaged or flattened threads, rust pitting, or any nut that feels gritty or binds on the stud. If a nut runs down unevenly or the stud spins in the hub, it’s time for replacement. Use only the correct 60-degree conical-seat nuts and avoid mixing styles. Clean the stud threads with a wire brush if needed, but do not lubricate the threads or the nut seats—Honda’s torque spec is for clean, dry threads.

Refitting the wheels? Snug the nuts by hand, then torque them to 127 N·m (94 lbf·ft) in a criss-cross pattern. After any wheel service, recheck torque after 50–100 km. Avoid relying solely on an impact gun, use a torque wrench for the final tighten. If a stud has been stretched from over-tightening or shows visible necking, replace it. Pressed-in studs can be changed individually, typically after removing the brake caliper and rotor for access. If corrosion is severe, the hub may need to come off for proper pressing.

Good habits that help:

• Keep hub and wheel mating faces clean and free of paint build-up.
• Never use anti-seize on studs or nut seats, if anything, a tiny smear on the hub centre bore only to prevent wheel sticking.
• Replace damaged studs and their matching nuts as a pair for that position.

Popular questions about 2017 Honda Odyssey wheel studs and nuts

What’s the correct wheel nut torque on a 2017 Odyssey?
Honda specifies 127 N·m (94 lbf·ft). Use a torque wrench and tighten in a star pattern. This spec comes from the Owner’s Manual and Service Manual procedures for wheel installation.

Can individual wheel studs be replaced, or does the whole hub need changing?
Individual studs can be replaced. They’re press-in types that are driven out from the back of the hub flange after removing the brake rotor. On stubborn or badly corroded hubs, removal for pressing may be easier. Replace any damaged nut along with its stud.

Should anti-seize or lubricant be used on the studs or nuts?
No. Honda’s torque is for clean, dry threads and cone seats. Lubricants can cause over-tightening and clamp-load errors. If desired, apply a light smear of anti-seize only to the hub’s centre bore to prevent the wheel from sticking—keep it off the studs and nut seats.
