In this episode of Fixing it Forward I start work on the 2005 Honda Odyssey. It gets a complete 4 wheel brake job along with a brake fluid change. I also replace the RF inner CV boot, test the catalytic converter, recondition the headlights, and I find a few new parts to buy.
We’ve made progress, but there is still a ways to go and more episodes to come before I give this van away to someone in need. Stay tuned!

Eric is the definitive car guy. Nobody comes close.
Eric, how is it that you haven't taken a shop vac to all of those leaves?
Not sure if this will even get seen, but I heard a lot of the gen 3 Odysseys had those run flat tires with special wheels and as such are a pain to replace without getting all new wheels. Doesn't seem to be the case with the one you have here. Have I been mistaken about this?
Hey: Mr. Eric t.c guy u' make me laugh u'r a very funny 😁 guy I like ur attitude God blessed you. P.s well speaking of ASE I AGREE WITH U' ABOUT NOT BECAUSE ONE HAS a ASE DOES NOT MEAN THAY NO EVERYTHING BUT ENYWAYS STAY DIRTY AND KEEP UP WITH YOUR mechanic work, have a good day or good night..n'd thumbs up. Ps please tell me what do you think about a Chrysler T&C 04 3.8…,
Using dogs to push in the piston; why didn't i think of that. I've been fumbling with C-Clamps like an idiot.
Eric, I did not see you torque the lower ball joint nut.
What length strap clamp needed to secure catalytic converter shield so it doesnt rattle?
Who gets rustier cars, Eric or Eric?
Almost looks like South Main Auto Repair was there already with that clean wheel hub
Nice fart at 7:09.
You could at least dust off the spider webs.
lol saw you take the air hammer and immediately lowered my volume
Eric, you're so humble, honest and awesome!
Hitting one hammer against another = BAD idea. Hammer faces are hardened. Ready to send chips at your face.
7:08 sounds like someone's squeezing to much? 🙂
When I did a brake job years ago I wasn't aware of the brake pad hardware. So I re-used the original. This time round, I am more prepared than ever.
You mention boogered threads… I ordered used axles and guess what? One was fine, the other slightly misshaped. It must have taken me 2 hours with a die to get that recovered. I did the nuts and now they spin so nicely.
I haven't seen your channel in years, I forgot how good it is, but I barely recognized you? You're rockin' the full-on Grizzley Adams look now, haha! Thanks for always answering questions and the great content!
The passenger side sliding door of my moms 07 odyssey will not do anything. It doesn't make any sound whatsoever when the handle is pulled on inside or outside of the door. Nor does it make a difference when I push the button beside the steering wheel. I've performed the reset procedure using the fuse panel on the inside if the vehicle and it made no change. Any idea what could be wrong when the door doesn't do anything at all.
Brake rotor screw: "You shall not pass!"
Eric: "That's okay. I have methods.. 😎"
Fixing it forward. Great concept👍. I did similar with Honda CBX motorcycle valve shims. I have a lot of them, even the thicker ones that aren’t very common. A fellow in the Midwest needed some, so I mailed him 5 or 6 which he was able to use. He asked me what size I wanted in return. I told him to play them forward if he ran across somebody who needed some that he had.
We used to have the tool to stretch the boot over
Your the man your work is outstanding ass always
