Fixing up the Crashed CR-V For my wife's daily part two. *Roadside Rescue*

[@gregblaha7]

I love your precious little helper! Thank you for being such a great dad! You may not understand this, but treasure this time because they grow up so fast. Tomorrow he will be getting married.😪

[@shredct3118]

That's awesome, mama must be happy. 👍

[@liamcinq]

Your son is a little sweetheart, so well behaved.

[@nshezz8562]

Fantastic video and thank you. Your child is getting quite the education, reminds me of the times I spent with my dad. I always wanted to do or be someone else, never listened to him and in the end I became mechanic in the Army. Made him proud in the end. Grease in the veins for life.

[@RoadsideRescue]

I love it!

[@kenjimamcfree7919]

Best featured about that cr-v is you can pull all the chairs down and make a pretty good bed when camping or long road trips!

[@lonwillis783]

😀 I would also suggest replacing the timing belt and water pump. Yes I have owned Honda's for 34 years. Thanks Ernest.

[@kinglangren]

Great job I love getting neglected damaged cars going. But remember positive on first, negative off first. Electrons flow from negative to positive,

[@jakeriff95]

I have a 2004 CR-V and I love that you started this project -- going to get so many cool tips and tricks!!

[@uzielsaldivar8038]

I really appreciate the EBay tire advice, hope you’re doing well

[@pinoy413]

Love seeing this cry come back to life! Great job. +1 for the cool picnic table in the trunk as a quirk. Hopefully yours came with it. Hopefully you take us along for all the new fluids, maintenance etc. As well

[@j0nat0n8o8]

Positive ON first, negative OFF first. Easiest way to remember. Touch ground while loosening or tightening when having negative on first.. You'll learn quick

[@ImProbablyThatGuy]

I concur. I learned "first on, last off" regarding the positive terminal.

[@gr8shot4ayankee17]

Came to say this

[@noahcootz6735]

The best feature of the crv is the table in the trunk below the carpet

[@jamespn]

I had that table on my 1999 and 2002 CRV the table was eliminated after 2006.

[@dillonwallace1334]

Always a cool feature

[@quadscorpio619]

I know right we have a Honda CRV and when I’ve shown my mates the table they lost it lol.

[@108media4]

Had one ages ago. Nice little suv. Underpowered for sure. I would change the fuel filter (right beside the battery) and brake fluid too!

[@zombie22_]

Cool tip with those honda power locks is that if you push down the driver's door "mechanical lock" it will lock all the doors at once.

[@smplyizzy]

Like that your getting it aligned.

[@mph5896]

That Crv is very clean underneath (rust wise). With that in mind, Its worth getting it back on the road again.

[@tinytim9453]

Not bad, I would have been all over that CRV, had I known about it. By the way when hooking up battery, it's Positive first and then Neg. Or when disconnecting battery Neg first and then Positive! You're welcome!

[@RoadsideRescue]

Thanks.

[@unknownvalor9755]

Your son is great talker. :)

[@stevericketts810]

Excellent work!

[@TheDarkknightdu93]

Hello, if you check the belt it is absolutely necessary to check the valve clearance, on my vehicle a exhaust valve has burnt because of this problem very common to the b20 😉. By the way a nice detail in cr-v there is a picnic table in the trunk 😊.

[@josephespinoza4658]

The front camber adjustment is with the upper control arms connected to the top of the spindle. You'll have to buy a specific upper control arm camber kit. Truhart is a really good brand for that.

[@winniesunny]

Cool thing before you get in the car you can press the unlock twice then on the third time hold it to let the air out.

[@RoadsideRescue]

nice! ill try that!

[@winniesunny]

Roadside Rescue Also, I should specify you can do the same thing with the key in the door handle or when you lock it do it in reverse and window will roll back up.

[@twistedwrench490]

Lol “oh hi” Did hear that horn? Beeeeeeep! Awesome. Beep beep I’m driving the car

[@timmytimtime1284]

Love these old crv s

[@kelseymafia]

you're supposed to always take the NEGATIVE terminal off the battery first, fyi. That;s why there is a cover over the positive terminal, so you remember to remove the negative side first. also when you put a new battery in, the positive side goes back on first...

[@alanolvera6927]

Bruh it doesn't really matter

[@kelseymafia]

@@alanolvera6927 yes, it does. google it.

[@NitroxSkaterxChannel]

It does matter, taking positive off first can create a large voltage spike that can fry modules in a vehicle, ground off first and on last. Always.

[@kevins.3573]

CRV's have adjustable upper control arms for camber on the aftermarket.

[@chillybrit2334]

If the tyres are wearing evenly (i.e. not killing one shoulder or the other) why bother with camber adjustment away from how it was built at the factory? Camber adjust really comes into play when lowering a car because the steering geometry changes, this seems to be a family run around not a teenager in a ricer. Makes no sense to spend $$ to fit camber adjustment just for the sake of it when it's only going to get set to its neutral point during alignment anyways. Maybe some people fit this stuff and get a warm glow from being able to say "I fitted camber bolts" while they serve no purpose in their application. Money would be better spent elsewhere.

[@alan6832]

That's good because tie rods don't cause pulling. Pulling is going to be camber, castor, dragging rear brake, rear wheel alignment or something else.

[@chillybrit2334]

@@alan6832 Please explain how camber causes pulling. I suppose you could have one wheel with more or less camber than its partner on the other side of the car - that might result in slightly differing amounts of friction to the road surface. But I'd expect to see differing wear patterns between the two tyres in question. And how does a badly adjusted tie rod ~not~ cause pulling? They quite literally angle one wheel inward or outward as referenced to the direction of vehicle travel. I'd honestly like explanations as it may be I have completely misunderstood the whole thing.

[@alan6832]

@@chillybrit2334 You guessed right on the camber. Assymetric toe in gets automatically corrected by the driver by tuning the steering wheel a bit, which restores symmetry except for the steering wheel itself. The symptom is not pulling, it is the steering wheel spokes being at an angle when the car is going straight.

[@kevins.3573]

@@chillybrit2334 It's a ~20 year old Honda. It's struts are blown. Maybe, he has plans to raise or lower it. Otherwise, he wouldn't be asking about front and rear camber adjustment.

[@olebloom1641]

My buddy and I just bought an engine for one for 650.00 and once we get to it just switch out the upper air intake/manifold and we should be good to go in several hours for the swap. Have less than 1k into it. Love that.

[@initial_deion]

These crv's like to leak on the floor board from either the weather strips on the rood, windshield, or cowl. i have been chasing a leak for a while now and have sealed the cowl and the winshield. my next step is to check the weather stripping once i install the roof rack. you should def pull up your carpet to see if it has been leaking in the interior. just bought mine and while doing a deep detail i found a whole section rusting out on my passenger floor board where the seat mounts. there was leaking on the driver side as well but not as severe. ended up cutting the rust out and replacing it. Just something to look out for. Happy to see more crv videos being uploaded, will be dropping vids of my rust issue & how i went about resolving it. Thank you!

[@Integrity.is.everything]

Same thing happened to me at Pull a part in Atlanta. Needed parts off a 2000 Olds intrigue. Not a common car. Didn't have the right tools to get everything i needed. Was going back the next day but it rained heavy for a few days. When i went back the car had been crushed.

[@jivediy2711]

To lock some hondas with door open you have to pull on inside handle and then press the lock button. You wont believe how much times that feature can help from locking your self out and keys in.

[@albertcastle7786]

Happy for you keep it up

[@logansmokes.2762]

Another great video Ernest

[@timmytimtime1284]

So many of these on the road, many parts available, long lasting suv

[@hackdeez1075]

Its getting harder and harder to get parts for 90's vehicles

[@eggy1962]

i had one of these lovely vehicle i regret selling it but could not afford the impending steering rack replacement. BTW if you notice rumbling or slight grinding in the rear when cornering, drain and replace rear axle fluid with ONLY the HONDA stuff, cured mine immediately.

[@lukevanderburg2133]

Love my RD1, do a water pump and timing belt. Check the valve lash too. They tend to get tight over time on these motors. Also you can get adjustable camber front and back in the upper control arm. And if you hear clunking most likely swaybar end links. those go out real fast on these.

[@lukevanderburg2133]

Should also do a drain and fill on the trans if you don't know the last time that was done, these trans have internal filters and once they're clogged, need to get the trans rebuilt. And might as well drain and fill the diff its an AWD, make sure you only use Honda Dual Pump fluid in it. Every 40k on the diff.

[@AKLS]

Your little boy loves cars doesn't he?

[@jameskirk4832]

I was always wondering what your wife looked like finally got a chance to see

[@pappesbaby7421]

Hi Ernest the front end has a fixed camber on your crv can only adjust toe. Has that wishbone strut design so no camber adjustment

[@susaetern]

Those older CR-V, if taken care of, will practically drive forever. Is this the model with the collapsible picnic table? Yes, if anyone wasn't aware, they came with in freaking foldable table. LOL.

[@jesselyons2002]

You adjust the camber on the front at the upper ball joint, with adjustable ball joints. You could do a dirty alignment bye setting steering wheel straight. Measuring the tires in the middle of the thread in the front and back of the front wheels then adjust until both measurements are the same.

[@mackeating]

Just emailed you about the seat belts. I'll try to take them out this afternoon

[@RoadsideRescue]

Thank you! Ill check my email!!! :)

[@ZeldaNumber17]

A little negative camber on those crvs is good for the tires especially the awd ones. About -.5 to -.8 works good. I had one with no camber and tires kept getting outer wear. Same thing happened with my Subaru.

[@dasdaro]

I was replacing a broken temperature sensor in my 99 Dodge Caravan and I cracked the lower intake manifold The sensor cameras to watch the threading sealant. So now a $20.30 minute job now turns into $100.10 hour job luckily I went to a pull and save and there was like 20 of my vehicle all of them have the same lower intake manifold

[@Vdub_]

I have a 1998 with some oversized ko2s and a 5spd stick. But I have to say my favorite part is the built in cooler and picnic table. Honda thought of everything lol.

[@RoadsideRescue]

Where is the cooler?

[@Vdub_]

@@RoadsideRescue Right under the picnic table there is a little black tub. You can put the ice in there. Its got four little clips on the sides of it that you can pull out to dump out the ice once it melts.

[@RoadsideRescue]

I’ll look for that!!

[@RoadsideRescue]

What goes in the compartment in the back door? Mines empty!

@@RoadsideRescue I can take a picture for you do you have an email I can contact you at?

[@brandonjohnson3566]

Check out Skunk2 for all honda performance parts as well as KTuned. Skunk2 has awesome front camber upper control arms. They use adjustable ball joints. Also with older cars buy and use aerospace 303 protection spray, blue bottle it shines up interior and exterior plastics, protects them from UV for 5 weeks.

[@Fiterpilot]

Awesome video man!

[@RoadsideRescue]

Thanks!

[@Christopher-by4hw]

Yeah I haven't had good luck at that Pic-a-part either. I've had good luck at state street auto junkyard between Provo and Springville. Where is the new junk yard that's going to open up? I'm interested in stopping by and seeing if I can find a few parts for my camry.

[@RoadsideRescue]

The LKQ. Got bought out and will be a pick and pull. Springville.

[@kooshkangaroo]

Buddy had a 2003 CRV and it lasted 470K with good maintenance and regular oil changes etc until he got into an accident with it and it was totaled. Thing was a tank

Little boy is cute. When I was that age I would wait till the service station attendant got under the hood and then get a good blast from the horn on the 62 Chevy. Fun times. Worth the spanking.

[@lisampenn]

😂😂sounds like something my boys would do

[@emmanuelcarrion5168]

I bought one of these same honda cr-v for my sister in-law for $400 bucks. Apparently it was over heading and needed a new radiator because of a leak. Once the radiator was replaced I figured out it had a blown head gasket. I took it to a shop for a proper diagnostic by a mechanic and he did a compression test and cylinders two and three were dead had very low to no compression.

[@Colterkni801]

If I remember correctly, you can lock the door when it’s open by pulling the inside handle and then locking it.

[@matthewanderson7766]

Cute kid he's going to be just like you he love what dad is doing you should bring him along more train him at young age that what my dad did

Hey congratulations to you and your wife on your crv, BTW did you get the table in the trunk with it?

Yes I did

[@lucianoromero777]

Did you go to the tear apart on redwood road? I used to go there when I lived out there for tons of parts, that one is huge

[@pshadow115]

I think all Costco tire centers do not do alignments

[@hairpunut]

Toe does not cause a pull, Only really bad camber and caster offset will. So if your caster is off that will cause a pull. Also a bad tire can cause a pull as well. Also there is no front camber adjust on hondas with the wishbone style strut that i am aware of. Rears can be re adjusted with after market kits. Just make sure you tighten the toe with the double wing nuts really good. Honda got rid of the rear adjustment later years because of the rear toe not being tight enough.

[@frugalprepper]

I gave you a shout out on my last video "PT Cruiser Needs Some Love".

[@RoadsideRescue]

Nice!!! I'll check it out! Thank you! :)

[@rockdrummer80]

make sure u do a valve adjustment. The valves get tight on those gen Cr-v's. Intake: 0.08 - 0.12 mm (0.003 - 0.005 in) Exhaust: 0.16 - 0.20 mm (0.006 - 0.008 in) the plugs, cap, rotor and wires too. Use honda spark plugs. Im a tech for honda so i know about the car. If u have any questions let me me know.

[@RoadsideRescue]

Thank you! Will do!

[@jamespn]

Just run a string on the outside of the front and rear wheel and adjust the toe until the string runs straight between the front and rear wheels without any gaps.

[@keithmerrell5451]

On Honda's, if the door is open, you pull the handle to the open position and hit lock, the door will lock.

[@FireoftheGreeks]

When you were under the CRV at the beginning there was a wet spot on the driveway from a leak and that was the Tie Rod you were adjusting, not the sway bar LOL.

[@RoadsideRescue]

Yeah. It’s so hard on camera to say everything right for some reason haha b

Costco batteries are so darn cheap. I bought mine for my civic for roughly $90 and everywhere else was $140 cheapest.

[@guayaco19]

Romeo Tene walmart was also around $120, i also thought it would be cheap for a tiny battery but no.... costco came through though

[@Brudovo3434]

Removing battery cables should be done in reverse of how you did it, I had a friend say this "Black Boots Red Socks" take off the terminals and put them on in the order of socks and shoes.

[@mph5896]

Aaron Fernandes yup, this! If he hit the wrench to steel, worst case is he blows the battery up in his face.

[@emmanuelwilson2780]

what should one expect to pay for a crv of similar year with similar damage? Did Ernest mention what he payed for his? Thanks

[@RoadsideRescue]

200$ im sure you could get it for less but it was from a friend so i paid a generous amount. Its worth watever junk yards are paying at the time.

[@toms1499]

Find airbags online and ship the seatbelts and module out to myairbagscom most all older Honda vehicles you have to pull the door handle out to lock the doors once the door is open was supposed to keep you from forgetting your keys. See if you can find a certifit around for body parts and take a try at painting them with a harborfreight spray gun. Not all that hard really and make for some good videos maybe. Keep up the good work!

[@fama5736]

220,000 miles is about 360,000 kilometres so I’m thinking that engines at the end of its life, so I wouldn’t spend any more on it until I was actually driving it everyday and that’s usually when any problems creep up, then you could make a better decision

[@jamesg9936]

Costco gave me two free batteries for my 7.3 f250 and they were worn

[@MrJalcantar32]

Good Man

[@KujezZi]

isn't it positive first, then negative?

[@RFmaster89]

Positive goes on first, negative terminal goes on last.. Just in case if that 10mm wrench slips and shorts between positive terminal and body.

[@BobVan]

Why not get the battery from autozone if you have a commercial Acct and they have the 3 to 5yr warranty on their duralast gold batteries? Not “trolling” just wondering if Costco was that much cheaper even with your autozone commercial discount.

[@RoadsideRescue]

Yeah Autozone is only 3 for me. and it wsa only 80$ at costco with a 3 year warranty as well... so yeah. just alot cheaper. :)

[@RoosterSpur]

Positive first...
