You're welcome!!!!!

[@chiploven2875]

Thanks for your help. I just changed my filter in my 1998 Honda CRV.

[@filterheads]

Glad it helped!

Great tutorial. Only issue I found when actually doing this is there are two more 8mm bolts on the left side holding that dumb bracket in place. You cannot simply remove the 10mm bolt and "pivot" the bracket with the remaining two 8mm bolts. They both must be removed, and the entire bracket will fall to the floor. I was also putting in an aftermarket stereo at the time so I found it easier to just do it when the entire instrument garnish was removed giving easy access to the two 8mm bolts, but did Honda not think anyone would ever replace these? My wife bought this car used as a beater, and I swear that was the original filter! On the bright side though, the ac still works even through a 20 year old crudded up filter. But it will be so much better now with a clean filter. Plus there was 20 years of disgusting debris, leaves etc in the housing area under where the filter sits. I really don't get the design thought by Honda on this. A cabin air filter replacement should be an easy one minute job right behind the glove box, not something where you need to remove trim, brackets and bolts.

99 CRV: There is one 10mm and 2 8mm bolts on each side. All must be removed. The bar is held in place with a tab on the left hand side and does not pivot down. If you have tiny hands and a long 8mm wrench you'll be able to get the left ones out without removing the center console trim, which is a PITA.

Thank you for informing us!

Same for a ‘01 CRV. Lucky for me, the previous owner bent to left tab out so loosening both left side bolts allowed me to pivot the bar down. But why did Honda design it this way in the first place? In my old 05 civic, the filter went in flat.

[@AmyWatsonWhoDoesAllTheThings]

I finally did this on my '01 CRV, but I ended up bending the hell out of the left tab, lost one of the 8mm bolts, then found it again after I put it all back together. I don't think my cabin filter has ever been changed until now, and this is why.

[@stefank264]

Thank you. That was really helpful.

You're welcome!

[@merladeh8968]

Thank you! I was told by some ignorant mechanics that my C-RV model and year did not have a cabin air filter when I asked them to change it. They were dead wrong.

[@filterheads]

You're welcome!

Easiest tetorial ever... Wish you could do an alternator and timing belt

[@filterheads]

Thank you!

[@jaimeramirez4766]

There are 2 bolts on the left lower bar that you must remove.

[@filterheads]

Thank you for informing us!

[@jaimeramirez4766]

Smaller one is 8 mm and larger one is 10mm if you remove the smaller one it's a bear to put back on,but must be removed in order to lower the bar.

[@rachaelb9164]

Yes that was the hardest part too!!!

[@sanmateo6fifty]

How often should the cabin filter be replaced and why?

[@filterheads]

You should replace your cabin air filter once a year or every 15,000 miles. A dirty cabin air filter filter could be filled with debris like leaves, pollen, and dust. If you live in an area with a lot of smog or around a lot of trees you might want to consider replacing it more often because you'll have more debris that may clog up the filter. Stale odors can also be caused by a dirty cabin air filters.

EXCELLENT VID THANKYOU !!!!

[@filterheads]

YOU'RE WELCOME !!!!!! 😁

What is the benefit of a cabin air filter. I'm guessing it filters the cabins air. Great video Thank you

[@canadaplace2be176]

Ya. Its really a good idea. Sometimes it will not even blow. If not changed. Blows Beuttifull fresh air. And filters. Outside air. Dust. And so on.

@@filterheads Thank you

[@chrispowers7811]

​@@filterheadsor if you buy a used 97 crv from some pothead like we did a new cabin filter is a must. Looked like a brownish yellow carpet and thick with probably original filter. No wonder the AC barely blew. Much better now.

[@amaximo4951]

I attempted this, but when I loosened the last 10m screw it still didn't drop the bar low enough to access the filter

[@filterheads]

What is the year make and model of your car? We may be able to further assist you if you email a photo to [e-mail]

Honda CR-V 2001 lx

[@filterheads]

Did you try moving your passenger seat back so your glove box has more room to be lowered closer to the floor?

[@amaximo4951]

Actually all I needed to do was loosen all three screws on that side of the bar to get enough wiggle room to lower it down past filter thanks for your help. Great video

[@filterheads]

You're welcome, thank you for watching!

[@XH1927]

Video omits the two 8mm hex bolts on the lower left that must be removed, real pain.

You're welcome!

[@funkysouldancer1]

You forgot about the wiring.

[@filterheads]

What wiring would you be referring to?

[@funkysouldancer1]

Putting the wiring that plugs into the lights back in place...When you reversed it after putting in the bulb, you didn't show how to plug the wires back...still a great video

[@filterheads]

Thanks for pointing that out! We try hard to remember to include everything needed in these videos but we do forget some things from time to time! Thanks for watching!

[@funkysouldancer1]

I changed my headlight today by myself thanks to your video...thanks very much.
