The plastic part on the oem bearing is the shielding portion. Those replacement bearing you put on the gear-x diff are non shielded. The shielding can also retain the broken portions of a failed bearing and I think thats why Honda uses them.

[@TheRealDannydos]

Would you recommend reusing them if they have low miles on them?

[@georgerobartes2008]

​@@TheRealDannydosthe bearings are either a 2RS or a special 1RS made for Honda. The RS denotes the seals .Its likely that Honda used a 1RS ( sealed one side ) as extra insurance not relying on the single lip seal on the drive shaft coupling . The bearing also looks like its designed to withstand side thrust . Which the plain ball rollers he is using can't. Reuse the Honda bearings if they spin smoothly or replace with the same spec bearing . Honda bearings are NOT plastic LOL .

I have always thought about upgrading my 2005 Honda CR-V rear differential to a limited slip type.

[@damasterkarej]

Same here. I need better drive for deep snows.

[@pFbSpecV]

Nice install video!! I need to do this to my element rear diff for my integra!

[@jeffowen9307]

Great presentation Red. pretty simple install, but a great upgrade.

[@PirateGarage]

Can't wait to throw it in and go for a test drive

[@ihondalifestyle569]

Horrible video! And you are the owner? Shame. Could speak wonders about your tolerances...hmmm💩🧐

For all of those looking for the information regarding the Bearings. I just contacted Gear-X and this is what they communicated as alternative part numbers for the AWD CRV Rear LSD bearings. Diff Carrier Bearings: Honda# 91005-PL0-008 NAPA# BRN 276207 NACHI# 6207 NTN # 6207 Good luckt

Would this help with off-road performance with an Automatic transmission?

[@mopar2ya165]

Do you have a parts list for ring & pinion bearings and carrier bearings?

[@orlandom1041]

Hello, when one installs the diff gear x as you want, do you have to pin the clutch? have you already tried it?

[@AJIMPORTS]

Great install video. More of a reason for me get my awd swap completed so I can start upgrading

[@ElReySupr3me]

A few uggas on my impact 🤣 thats gold haha

[@DeadlyRage402]

Do you need to set the backlash on this install? And can not setting the backlash cause a vibration at 60+mph?

[@badboiBunna]

Good work Red. 👍🏾

[@hec_ofa_barber4569]

Hi I’ve been looking for the bearing for the gear x lsd but can’t find them. What is the part number for the bearings?

[@carpartrelapse5057]

Fuuuuuck thanks so much!!!! This helps my build so much!

[@briansnyder8898]

Considering using one of these as a diff for a trike conversion any thoughts??

[@djwdeaf]

Big Fail by shadetree mechanic. You changed the bearings and carrier, so this means you need to reset the preload, on the bearings, and set the backlash and check the contact pattern on the differential. That is the whole reason that shim packs exist in the first place. People already pointed out the bearing issues.

[@bigdaddyvtec]

TQ. ALL.

[@s1zlak]

Good job!

[@MikeandCrystle]

How much would this set cost as a bolt on option ?

[@MrVtecnology1]

do you have parts number for all this build?

[@TomJunWing]

Is this the same Diff you did the clutch pack shim and pump spring on in a previous video?

[@TheDarkRican]

What's up Red!!!! Are these rear diff still available? I cannot find them on Gear-X's site nor anywhere else. Thx.

[@PirateGarage]

They are, msg me on Instagram but they are out of stock at the moment

[@LilDiabloRob]

Same. I couldn’t find it on their website. Sorry I don’t have IG anymore. Great vid though.

[@bigdaddyvtec]

Dont forget to check pinion depth and backlash ;)... Thats what the shims are offset for.

[@PirateGarage]

Didnt change the ring and pinion so not necessary

[@bigdaddyvtec]

@@PirateGarage You changed a differential and bearings.

[@everydayjourney301]

Mine is 2016 crv. Put up on jack stands and one rear wheel does not spin as fast as other three. Would this be a sign that this repair needs to be done?

[@cbagz8597]

Can I run the lsd on a 08 crv awd?

[@BlackSpeed206]

i’m super late, but can this be used for the AWD diff on the auto CRV?? (mine is an 02 w/ the k24)

[@racer668]

cool, don't seem that difficult. I didn't know they made lsd for these. got a 2nd gen crv that needs rebuilt. I'd go with the typical torque specs for those bolts + blue thread lock and call it good.

[@omarGarcia-ym9dm]

What are the options for the front

[@joevalotta7430]

Hey where do I find the part number for the bearings you used

[@wade6491]

Do you still need to use a vicious coupler? Or a propshaft without a coupler?

[@PirateGarage]

Only if you delete the clutch the LSD replaced the differential not the power tranafer

[@FFer-ug3ik]

[@jafalafa12]

So the Element AWD had the same diff in the rear as the CRV?

[@chockymike]

Yes

[@jarrettlabate5595]

So you don't have to set mesh or backlash or anything??

[@GetM3rk209]

Why did you go with the crv/element rear diff instead of the wagon? Are you going to pin the clutch pack when adding the lsd?

[@PirateGarage]

Wagon is expensive and rare, crv rears will have a lot of parts available soon making it a better choice.

[@GetM3rk209]

@@PirateGarage what about the clutch pack?

[@PirateGarage]

Tim is going to pin his clutch pack and use a VC.

Great info, Red. I've got a 2005 Element AWD/MT and I'm glad to see that there are front and rear LSDs available for it. Is the Wavetrac 60.309.190WK the only option for the front? Do you have both of these (Wavetrac and Gear-X) installed on the same car with no problems?

A tapered roller bearing would be best. The tq on the bolts can be easily found by using a bolt tq chart

[@PirateGarage]

The bearings I used are equivalent to factory I think Honda knows what they are doing

[@alexhise968]

Yes Honda engineers know exactly what they are doing. They chose that bearing according to the needs. That bearing is great for low friction a tapered roller bearing is great for higher loads as they have a greater contact area. But thats not needed for all of us.
