How to replace AC compressor on Honda CRV 2002 to 2017 and up || Honda CRV AC compressor

[@Torrd115]

Great video! Can hardly believe you installed that compressor with one hand.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yuppp I’m use to it with camera in other hand

[@FT-ql7lc]

Sir, you are the very best KZbin has to offer. Great video.

[@t.blakeevanson535]

LOVE YOUR CONTENT! Never stop producing! You're videos are of the highest quality

[@RBTheMechanic]

Thank you.. will keep up more detailed videos !!

[@Getreal-v2j]

Just changed my compressor today. 2002 204000 miles. The compressor didn’t have loose parts rattling so my fingers are crossed it’s not Black Death. Definitely A/C maintenance is in my opinion best left to the pros like RB.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Thank u bro ..!!!

[@DanClaunch]

Is your compressor still going strong?

[@Getreal-v2j]

@@DanClaunch yes after 3-years. Lucked out.

[@thehatefull1761]

If you have a 02-06 it's easier to remove the front grill front bumper passenger headlight condenser and loosen the radiator to get to the compressor

[@Suitslippers]

Thanks. Good look at taking mine out from above after loosening the subframe bolts still did not allow enough clearance for my compressor to be removed

[@SPAZWIK82]

Why doesn’t this video have more views with CRVs having such a bad AC issue? Awesome video man! Ps - it’s Vacuum not Wackuum

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yeah sorry about the vacuum this video only been up last month or so, but it will get to people over the years!!

[@kurtis295]

my ac compressor lasted 12 years in my crv.. super reliable cars :D

@@kurtis295 sameee lol i spent that much too. i had to change the water pump and the ac compressor 😭 do you have any issues after 100 mph? lol. would you ever fix the transmission? i would i think mainly cus it’s still cheaper than leasing out the car 😭 kinda feels like a pimp my ride moment here tbh

I like this dude , he is exited as if he created the ac system for the first time lol 😆

[@RBTheMechanic]

Haha well when u get that cold air from dead ac ofc I would be excited and it was super cold air

[@pbpunisher99]

Thanks for the vid my compressor is dead. I would like to get the Denso, but that part number you showed says it does not fit my 2002 Honda CRV and Denson parts lookup says they do not make one for mine. If not Denson who would you recommend. I don't want to go cheap, or reman. Thanks

Four season is another brand yup it’s diffrent for 2002

[@pbpunisher99]

@@RBTheMechanic awsome thanks for the quick response! I will get one on order and let you know how it goes!

[@edguy495]

Do you usually change the dryer filter and expansion valve or just the compressor should be fine? I’m about to change my compressor and just wondering if I should do those as well. Thanks. Great video.

[@RBTheMechanic]

No I never change that but I do a full service with ac machine which recovers all oil and refrigeration and then vaccum and recharge

[@t.blakeevanson535]

Does the compressor leak at all from the lines?? when you undue them

[@RBTheMechanic]

Well I recovered all the r134 but it dose still have oil in it u can see how I removed conpressor it leaked out

[@Eli_is_a_Lauver]

Well done brother!!!!👍

[@christianmercado5510]

Wow! Thank you, now I can change mine that the clutch broke. Which brand do you recommend? I’ve heard that the Denso brand is the best, but I can’t find it for a Honda CRV 2005.

[@RBTheMechanic]

I used lot of denso they r good also 4season

[@christianmercado5510]

@@RBTheMechanic Men, I’ve been looking everywhere for the Denso ones, but I think they are out of stock for the 05 CRV’s. Apparently, they are not producing old parts any more and focusing on the newer car models. I’ll give 4 season a shot then. Thanks for the fast response, lesson on how to install it and the info. 🙌🏽

[@mhoff7722]

Great video. So you didn't have to drop the subframe to swap out the compressor? I have a 2003. I think I have to drop the subframe about an inch to get it out?

[@RBTheMechanic]

No you don’t I did those as well before I started utube should be very very much same and u can slide it out by the tire side area

My local shop said they will need to replace condenser with the new compressor, is this correct or are they trying to get extra money

@Bruce Wayne on that year you can just lower the frame a little bit as long as the suspension isn't completely shot

@Bruce Wayne I still think it's easier though to take it out from the top it takes less time but I guess it's preference for those years I still remove them from the top though

@Bruce Wayne you will need to remove the front grill undo the condenser and loosen the radiator but yes it can be done or you can try to drop the subframe a little bit it depends on your preference
