How To Remove and Install Honda CRV Distributor Rotor 1997 - 2001

[@Boribellarivera24]

Thank you for the walk through. I needed this video.

[@muhammadx1670]

So glad I stopped pulling on rotor to watch this. Thanks

Mike: Now I'm just going to have my sister bump it... Sister: **cranks it for 2 seconds**

[@4gflores]

What was the original reason to change the rotor? Was the CR-V giving any issue with the ignition?

[@jegerjeger]

Thank you! Saved me a lot of time.

[@oKaid3n]

I am very late on this video but does this method not require timing the distributor????

[@zoejay]

Did it start back up though?

[@monstersquashracing]

Nice work man

[@Doble2J]

Mine doesn’t have the screws what should I do because its still hard to come off

[@Kneeandertall]

Did you ever find a solution cause mine doesn’t have a screw either

[@yuppie7953]

how do you bump it to get the rotor to move?

[@stevengleave9241]

The spring that is visible in this video i have a question about, Im having p0335 issues with my 2000 crv-se and after replacing the crankshaft position censor im still getting this error code so i removed the distributor cap and noticed that the spring i mentioned is completely covered with rust. Does this spring have a specific purpose that it should not have rust? Thanks

[@jhernandez282]

The spring is the ignition coil . Some do fall out but if it does its poor connection if you refuse it that can be the problem .

[@jhernandez282]

Rust also means water or some liquid got into it and eventually will be bad I'd change the ignition coil witch is held on by 2 Philips head screws

[@shakamuni01]

Also that the oring on the distributor may be cracked letting water in.

[@justusst.pierre4287]

What about timing?

[@snakeman567]

Any advice for getting the set screw out if it is stuck in there really good? I think mine is original to the car (220k miles).

[@MechanicalMike]

PB Blaster liquid penetrator works well. Spray where it threads in if you can, the let it sit. Some times if you put the screw driver in place then lightly tap on the end a few times, it will break the screw loose. Be careful doing that on the distributor though since it's a more fragile component

[@juarezzz3475]

GOOD video THANKS!

[@DittoSlayer]

What if the rotor is seized? Doesn't turn when motor turns.

[@MechanicalMike]

Could be broken teeth on the ring gear of your distributor, or possibly broken timing belt. I'd pull the distributor and make sure the gear is intact first, as that would be the easiest thing to do as far as troubleshooting

[@DittoSlayer]

@@MechanicalMike rip. it's my timing belt.

[@shakamuni01]

I would load that screwthread with some grease. They tend to lock into the shaft pretty bad.

[@civicdev]

I thought your fingernails were painted. LOL

[@michaelsherron5750]

😂😂😂

[@jhernandez282]

Why do you have nail polish on ??

[@MechanicalMike]

I think the real questions is, why don't you have nail polish on?

[@waynec17]

Cause he Can! why you worried abought it tho all up in the man businesses. Damn.

[@805local5]

Dropped my bolt can’t find it now 😅

[@skypiratecaptain]

this shop invoiced this fix for 1000, any reason why that is beyond them scamming? the parts/repair look simple

[@selenasmith595]

yea a backyard mechanic quoted me 300 wtf? 30 bucks top for the parts?

[@Bushido_Prime3001]

I replaced my cap and rotor and now the car won’t start

[@gooutsideandplay4975]

Same. What did you find?

[@joshmullins6997]

I was also quoted $1000 for this. Havent tried to repair this yet but will be upset if its this easy.

[@Ivansquarepants]

Thank you sir!
