In order to clean out the weld nuts inside the frame of your 2015 Honda Odyssey you can use any lubricant along with the Nylon Tube Brush part # 814092. If you were very careful you could also use an M12 thread tap but this should only be used if the bolts will still not thread in correctly after extensive cleaning as you run the risk of cross threading.
