Honda CRV Catalytic Converter Bolt/Stud Exhaust Fix Replacment, Civic, Accord

Replacing the bolts/studs on a 1999 Honda CRV Catalytic Converter. These studs tend to rust. Its a simple fix. Also replaced the B Pipe due to rust.

This method of removing the studs works on a 1995 accord as well. Much appreciative for the technique

Those converter bolts are now closer to $20 each from Honda. How times have changed.

Thanks for sharing a great video demostration

How much life was left in the rear catalytic flange? Is there a way to replace the flange?

[@DG-888]

Does anybody have/ know of a aftermarket catalytic converter that work and doesnt throw a p0420 code?

[@hannahchahal9506]

What is the torque specs for the exhaust donut joint bolt with the spring? Thank You

[@DiogenesNephew]

Do you happen to know the size of those studs? I can't get oem, so I need to get stainless bolts.

[@rickhunter6242]

Awesome video! Are the new Honda bolts sold by piece? and, Is there a matching nut part number? Thanks in advance for your reply!

[@redbaronat7238]

yes the Honda bolts are sold by individually, sorry don't remember the part number for the bolt

At least for the 2005 CR-V : Honda Part No.: 18176-P08-003 And they're $17 at the dealer or $12 online. Each. Not sure where he got them for $4 each.

Nice video; thanks. Curious why you choose to replace the converter stud with new studs instead of just using regular bolts & nuts from any hardware store.

[@redbaronat7238]

The customer requested factory parts, plus the factory bolts are less likely to loosen because they can be tapped in.

[@shaneboyd8788]

Would there be any issues with using regular bolts and nuts from a hardware store?

[@shaneboyd8788]

Also, would you need to take the catalytic converter completely off if you just needed to change these bolts?

[@kakakong]

@@shaneboyd8788 Supposedly hardware store bolts won't last nearly as long - they'll rust real soon, even stainless will start pitting due to the heating and cooling cycles. If you ever plan to remove the bolts consider using copper (not aluminum) anti-seize. That said, for the price differential it might just be worth it to put in cheap bolts and replace them as needed.

[@danstump20]

Can the studs be taken out with the catalytic converter still mounted ?

[@SupremeTeamFP]

Whats average cost for this repair + labor ??

[@joyceobeys6818]
