Front Strut Replacement, 2001 Honda Odyssey -EricTheCarGuy

Описание: You can also use this video if you have a Ridgeline, Pilot, or MDX. They share a similar chassis to the Odyssey. The job in this video was not without it's challenges ad you'll see when you watch it. To be honest, if you need to do this job I would recommend 'quick struts' that come preassembled, or taking your old struts to a shop to have your new struts installed. Both spring compressors that I tried were a fail. The only thing that worked was a wall mounted unit. Also, those stabilizer links can be tricky. Start by soaking them with some penetrating oil and cross your fingers. If that doesn't work you may need a torch. In fact, you may need new stabilizer links before it's all said and done. Outside of those issues, this job isn't too bad. Here's some links for you.
