2002-2017 Honda CR-V CV Axle Shaft Seal Replacement How-To

[@peteaberg1459]

Dang! Very nice instructional video! All the details! Very impressed! Thanks!

[@JulietteSales-y8f]

You are such a n excellent teacher. Everything is detaied, step by step clear and concise with perfect angles. Seriously bravo you have a real talent!! Will be using this 100%.

[@dennisharper1896]

I'm getting ready to do this same job on a 2014 CR-V. Your video is excellent! Thanks very much.

[@dennisharper1896]

Just an FYI for others, the passenger side is a lot more difficult and uses a different seal (91206-RCT-003). In order to get to it, you have to remove the axle and then remove the half shaft. The half shaft is secured by a bracket with 3 bolts, two of which are difficult to get to. And another FYI, the seal on the outside end of the half shaft is also different (91260-SWA-A01).

This video is very well made! You clearly show every step and explain why you are doing it. Thanks for making it.

Great job! This is Newzealand. Very very helpful this video. Thank you so much!😊

[@livelean2884]

Really good video, well made and everything explained in detail. Thanks!

I did the front and rear strut assemblies using your vid. I’m here now because I had to cut the sway bar connector bolts off due to corrosion. I accidentally cut into the axle with my cutoff disk. Debating just filling in the cut with my welder. Nice to know the procedure though. Thanks! I definitely like the better Moog sway bar connectors 😂

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

😂 sorry to hear that. I don’t see why a weld or jb weld wouldn’t work for that, might throw the axle out of balance a little bit but that’s it.

[@wisconsinwoodsman1987]

Yep, I think with a small bead and some cleanup, the vibration should be negligible. If not, I have a video to watch again...and again.@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE

[@hemtet5500]

Ha ha I accidentally chopped into the trailing arm for the same reason and I’m debating whether it needs some sort of welding or something? They’ll probably say something on the MOT? maybe.

BC: How many miles on the cry when u did seal and strut replacement?

[@JoshuaBenjamin1994]

Great video bud, mine is leaking on the other side

[@collinoverfield588]

Great video! Very helpful!

[@ferdinandrodriguez7756]

Excellent video! Thanks!

[@billjordan6227]

Is there a clip to hold the axle in

[@rgraz4929]

Nice video! My Honda dealer actually just did this job for me on my 2013 CRV... no charge, under CPO warranty. But sorry for the stupid question. What is actually leaking? ATF fluid? Thanks. ANSWER: YES! You mentioned it at the 24:50 mark. Sorry.

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Yes atf.

[@cyrusk90]

Awesome video. What are part numbers for the seals? What’s the best way to find the part numbers?

[@viewlesswind]

Did you change the seal on the passenger side as well? Please let me know the socket and the size you used to put the seal in place. Thanks.

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

I did not replace the passenger side because it wasn’t leaking. I used a 1” 7/8 socket to install the new seal.

[@tomle2553]

Curious why you were replacing the strut and sway bar links? Was the strut leaking and the links ripping?

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Tires were starting to wear and cupping due to the struts being bad and it’s always good to replace the sway links at the same time especially on these cars because the links always rust and seize on the struts.

[@brandonhoud42]

Hey are the seals the same on all 4 corners?

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

No they will all be different part numbers.

[@TheRealTomSelleck]

Thanks so much for the video.

[@Ben-wd2in]

Awesome video! Would you do both seals if only one has failed?

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Thanks. I prefer to do only one at a time just because it’s less work. But since you have the diff drained it would be better to do both.

[@tomle2553]

This may sound like a dumb question. I have a 2013 RDX. J series engine. Got about 105K miles on her. My mechanic mentioned I got ATF leaking on the driver side and the seal needs to be replaced. He recommended I also replace the axle as well. What are your thoughts? Everything is fine. Joints arent leaking or anything. Would you replace it since you're doing the seal anyway?

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

It all depends on what kind of shape the boots are in and where you live. If you live in one of the rust belt areas like the Midwest or northeast I would say replace it. The Crv I did in this video had high milage but the boots and axle looked perfectly fine so I didn’t replace it. Just look for any grease leaking out of the boots or if the rubber is starting to crack.

[@joanrusling5397]

Thank you!

[@umbrellaproduction]

THANK YOU for the useful DIY video...But I'm trying to do an Inner boot replacement - so this doesn't get me all the way...do you have any videos on that?

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Sorry I do not have any videos on the boot replacement. Normally I just replace the whole shaft instead of the boot.

[@hemtet5500]

48mm socket? 🧐

[@kidsfun7333]

Thanks 🙏

[@CatKen-gq1ec]

Two other things can play into that oil seal failure number one and unfortunately it's a very expensive one is the bearings in the rear of the transmission have gone bad and it's starting to let some movement on that seal and the seal gets dry and old and it won't take any movement number two is the shocks are going bad and impacting it ever so slightly

[@Leader2light]

Great!

[@Moodyunicorntwin-fs5nj]

Congratulations now you need an alignment lol, just undo the lower ball joints (3 bolts) then pull the axle out then you won't need an alignment

[@Ducklesworth]

Can tou explain further

[@user-ci2gi2rz4f]

Thanks for this vidéo. If it can help someone, for my CRV AWD 2013 the driver side seal parts number is 91205-P0X-005 and the passager side is 91206-RCT-003.

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Thanks for the pert numbers.

[@robles100]

Are those OEM part numbers? Thanks in advance 👍
