I just replaced the front strut assemblies on my 2011 Odyssey (79k mi) this morning. My shop quoted me $1130 for this job. I spent about $182 on struts and saved myself over $900. It took me about 4 1/2 hrs to complete and trying to get the new struts into place was by far the hardest part of this job. I don't see how one person could install the new strut while holding the knuckle in place so the axle doesn't come out of the trans. Thanks for your vid. (07/06/23)

Work our strut out... nice edit. Show the process next time, not the magic of television.

Came for the how to. Staying for the Harbor Freight Junkies :D

Tip: If your sway bar link nut/bolt is corroded like mine and it's spinning too, soak it with some industrial strength Bust-a-Nut. Then use BOTH an allen key on the front and vice grips on the back. Set them both so they rest against a solid surface at the same time as you apply torque with a box wrench. Just using vice grips can slip and just using the allen key may strip it out. Use both just to be sure you don't invite murphy's law into play.

That looks impossible to get to

[@MannyFred]

This guy is the best comprehensive tech I've ever seen anywhere . Hands down .

[@s1esteve]

i guess it was too much to ask for an access panel in that cowl

[@estevannegrete2891]

This was super helpful for our Odyssey. The only part that tripped me up was needing to spin the studs so the pattern matched the holes in the van. I was afraid to do it until I re-watched that part a thousand times. 😊

Cool, I'm just searching on how to replace a strut mount and bingo, such a nice video with a very detailed explanation and nice visual support ;)

[@rickmiller9306]

Great tutorial. I successfully installed them. I still have a clicking/popping noise when I turn at slow speeds. Does the TRQ strut require the SHIN ETSU lubricant??

[@garypritchard9787]

Dude, you are an excellent instructor! So precise and thorough! Thank you!

[@JamesPDoan]

Awesome video! Thanks. Don’t forget those boots over the nuts that hold the wipers on.
