Very professional, very detailed...he makes it look like a walk in the park.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Thank you!

[@robbflynn4325]

Just completed this job on my son's 2003 Accord. No more leak! Thanks for your help!

[@tbuelna]

Thanks! The old gasket used as a tool to pound in the new gasket saved me! Thx

[@crispa1861]

Thx for sharing. Direct to the point instructions. Keep up the good work.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Thank you for watching!

[@42stackz]

The exact problem I have with my 2013 cr-v. Thank you so much!

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Mike T it’s not to bad of a repair . You got this. Thank you for watching!

[@BraveHelios]

Great video, thank you!! Do you know if it would be the same with a 2007 Ridgeline... for the passenger side and with an intermediate shaft? I need to replace the seal only on the passenger side and it sure would be nice it it was as easy as the TSX!

[@yabd792]

Thank you for the video. I learned something new today.

[@jeroen7699]

Great instruction! I noticed you got a cracked bushing in the lower control arm, where the strut fork is mounted on.

[@40kano87]

do you need to drain the transmission fluid first?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

No you don’t need to.

[@truejey7475]

Did you have to drain the transmission fluid ?

[@aang6421]

Thanks for the video! Acura wanted near $700 for this... Question, I know you cleaned where the seal goes, and then lubed up the inside before sliding the axle. How come you don't lube the seal with ATF before putting the seal itself in?

[@Dealejae]

Is this a manual transmission or automatic? Is the seal the same for both?

[@daverepole9283]

What a frickin awesome video. You just gave me the confidence to do it myself..

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Nice. Good luck with it. Thank you for watching!

[@daverepole9283]

@@HowtoAutomotive thank you.

[@vanquishstorm]

Very helpful vid. What would be the best method for removing/installing the intermediate shaft and axel end set/snap ring? I'm installing the axels on my car and would like to install the new set rings correctly. Thank you

[@tomle2553]

I've got this problem on my 2013 RDX J series engine. Driver side. Leaking small amounts of transmission fluid. My mechanic is recommending I replace both the seal and axle. What are your thoughts? Would you replace just the seal or both while you're at it? I'm at 105K. OEM Acura axle is not cheap 😭

[@kevin2jzzzz203]

One of my half shaft bolts got stripped but I got the other 2 on there right and tight no issues while driving you think I’ll be okay ?

[@jahdxn9290]

So wait, how far do you put the seal in? Until it stops? I tried to replace mines and now it’s leaking. I feel like I didn’t put it all the way in.

[@ehdeereotutar6843]

Jordan Kim did you ever receive a response on this? I’m about to do mine

[@ImmmZombie]

Same with me I don’t know what I did wrong

[@bronniesboy]

So there was no need to remove the strut fork, tie rod, sway link?

[@brooklyn7941]

Same for Honda accord 2004-07?

[@wesleywebb1058]

What if it makes a noise almost like there's a knot in my tire when I slow down or turn a certain way, would make that noise if the seal is broken?

[@frankpyon2115]

Very nice video, Thank you!

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Thank you. Did everything go smooth for you?

[@MrGibratan]

Great video thanks for the tips

[@Dc5Knightv2]

When I did mine I hit the seal till it was flush but my dust cap on the intermediate shaft is bent, would this cause any leakage I wouldn’t think so since the seal is what holds fluid in but then again the cap puts pressure on seal

[@paulhtoo5086]

Why am I having trouble sliding half shaft back in? Does it only goes in one way?

[@socomelite1]

Would this cause a vibration in the car if bad?

[@djzyx]

Would that leak transmission fluid and engine oil?

[@mckoylach1622]

Does replacing the axle seal, the same for makes and models

[@HowtoAutomotive]

mckoy lach This Seal is pretty much the same on Acarus in Honda’s .

[@OttoByOgraffey]

So the seal doesnt bottom out when installing it?

[@nestorduarte886]

Could someone tell me if this is A COMMON transmission fluid LEAK on the TSX ??? I went under my son's 2006 TSX yesterday and all the engine is very clean, no leaks at all, except for that SAME SPOT where the Axle joints the Gear Box. Thanks in advance 😎🤝🏻🙂👍🏻 Nice Video

[@AdrianLopez-gp9yz]

I’m 2 years late but this happened to mines because I’m low to the ground so my axle is bending the seal out. It depends on how well you treat the car and especially if you use “m” the tsx in some way goes into sport giving it more and if you go from 1-2 fast your axle is going to pop out from the torque since tsx are untuned from factory not making all its power and reliability

[@joeybrioso9408]

Would this process be the same as the drivers side?

[@mikeykarnatz3236]

What's the part number on the CV axle

[@macneil6999]

Hi where did you get the puller you used for removing the driveshaft? Thanks

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Ben Pattison I got it off a Tools truck. There is an affiliate link for it in the description ⤵️

[@daverepole9283]

I forgot to tell you i have a 2006 tl. Is the the same procedure?

[@frankpyon2115]

How much would it normally cost to do it at the automotive repair shop?

[@40kano87]

10 - 20$ for the seal and about 60 for Labour

[@billsutherland3935]

$330 in my city, which is way out to lunch.

[@Taronenko1]

$100 for labor in Michigan

[@MiLLz830]

@@Taronenko1 same in boston

[@MrGibratan]

I did change my using your this video it is really easy but now the seal is leaking transmission oil i need to do the job again maybe the seal was defective

[@HowtoAutomotive]

It possible it’s the wrong seal

[@MrGibratan]

How to Automotive thanks for the reply i remove the seal again yesterday and tiny spring in the seal was not in place i purchased that seal in oreilly auto parts i will purchase another today and install it seem how it goes

[@JoseHernandez-qk4ff]

What should be the cost of this job?

[@paulhtoo5086]

Why am I having hard time sliding back in? It only goes back in half way

[@jeroen7699]

Did you check if the new and old axle are the exact same type and size? Compare the splines, the number and width of the spline teeth especially. Same size clip ring?

[@ismaelramirez7682]

it's the same for acura tl 04?

[@the_aby_ss_8530]

would these same steps work on a 06 acura tl?

[@TheDerrty111]

Yup same set up

[@Hibachipower]

Doing axle seal ..... do I need to drank the transmission fluid first?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

No. Only drain it if it needs servicing.

[@Hibachipower]

in left and right side of my axle inner cv joints have little oil ,,,,,it mean both side of axle are leaking transmission oil right? left and right side it should be dry all the time am i right??

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Andywensheng cao where it go’s in the Transmission yes it should be dry.

[@Hibachipower]

How to Automotive thank you now I know what to do ........

[@billsutherland3935]

No, don't drink transmission fluid.

[@125sm3]

Nice one .

Nice love hearing that! Thank you for watching!

[@wowsplat]

Why torque the tire lugs to 79? I through spec was 80?

[@ChavezDIY]

In the manual it's 79. something... He rounded down, I round up. Doesn't matter. 1ft lb isn't going to make a difference.

[@svangvichith]

nice

[@HowtoAutomotive]

SVANG VICHITH original video thank you!

[@werdlyfe9577]

Good vid... However, the torque for the lower ball joint is 65 ft lbs not 30

[@MrEltruco]

The muffler is on the way did you remove any other part am doing that on my Acura TL but there’s other parts blocking bolts

[@HowtoAutomotive]

I didn’t but if it’s a different year things may be slightly different.

[@mckoylach1622]

Thank you

[@HowtoAutomotive]

mckoy lach thank you for watching!

[@christopherkellowan5723]

Can you drive the seal on too far?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Yes you can’t possibly driving too far.
