WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Honda Odyssey, 2012 Honda Odyssey, and 2011 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Special Tools Required

Driver Handle, 15 x 135L 07749-0010000
Attachment, 83 mm 07HAD-SG00100
Attachment, 78 x 90 mm 07GAD-SD40101

NOTE:

Replace the carrier bearing with a new one whenever the bearing outer race is replaced.
Do not use shim (s) from the toque converter housing side.
Adjust the preload after replacing the bearing and the bearing outer race.
Coat all parts with ATF during installation.

Remove the bearing outer race (A), the spacer (B), and the 85 mm thrust shim (C) from the transmission housing (D) by heating the transmission housing to about 212°F (100°C) using a heat gun (E). Do not heat the transmission housing more than 212°F (100°C).
NOTE: Let the transmission housing cool to room temperature before installing a new bearing outer race.
