Car help needed: CV joint bearings?

Wife pulled our '02 Odyssey into the driveway & it started making a horrible noise, like a coffee grinder, no Park, no reverse, nothing. On the ground I found these bearings.

So we pushed it up the driveway into the garage, put some chucks behind the wheels & there it sits til we know what's wrong.

Ideas? Something I should look at?

Thanks. For scale purposes, that's a half of a paper towel in the pic.

looks like cv bearings to me....you should be able to see a riped up boot and grease on whateverside it happened on

45 dollars my cost for a reman......65 would be normal walk in cust cost

btw zteknik is in your neck of the woods and does amazing work (if he is accepting side work right now)

Where are you getting CV's done for $45
Have you used Axel Clinic inside Auto Clinic.
We used to have about 50 a month done there with Red back in the 90's

i work at NAPA hats my cost on the cv axle not instillation!

Thx. I have a source for parts, similar to your situation cofi. So I'm good there I think.

How big of a job is it? I can do brakes, struts, have swapped trannies & motors before... I don't ever remember doing a cv joint though. Universals I've done, but they're easy.

Yea Bro,looks like a C.V. blew up on you.
I can give you a hand,not too hard to do.Hardest part might be taking the hubnut off due to the fact that the axle end will spin freely.
Gimme a pm I'm by the Citadel Mall.

If you do the whole shaft, the hardest part will be the axle nut. If you are going to replace the joint by itself, it can be tricky on some Asian vehicles to separate from the shaft.

Yea I figure the easiest way to go would be to leave the wheel on and on the ground,then go through the center cap and break the nut free with a breaker bar.
Or a compressor and air tools would work too.

You have the correct size and depth socket? The large spindle nut deep sockets can be hard to find. Ask me how I know.

I always stick a screwdriver in the rotor vents where it will bind against the caliper bracket. Never had a problem.

Not a dinky little screwdriver, but a decent one.

And Vatozone rents the axle nut sockets so you don't have to buy one.
