I installed the PCV like for 30 minutes. I removed the screw from the radiator reservoir for a little space, using a long screwdriver to wiggle the hose so it could move and remove it from getting stuck. Once I saw a gap between the hose and screw, I used a 16 in needle hose pliers to pull the hose, and it popped out. To remove the PCV, I just used a 17mm long wrench and a short ratchet. When putting it back, I used smaller long-nose pliers for the clamp.

Thanks for the video; I have the exact same CRV, it has 251,000 miles on it and it is still running great.

This should be a free service from Honda for the terrible design of this vehicle's repairability. You can't access anything and it's the worst fuel consumption of any Honda CRV. Recently it's gone from 18-24 to 13-18. Has an oil leak on belt side but the oil level remains steady. And I'm too afraid to reset the code as it'll die. Everything appears and tests normal but the idle will drop if reset. Know anyone in Los Angeles who understands this car - except Honda, who clearly don't. Big props to you for doing this with one hand!

Check the power steering hose and replace it with the hose clamp; this is the issue on my CRV, thinking it's an oil leak.

Power steering pump is also a common leak in the front of engine. If it’s oil it’s likely either the VTC screen on the head behind the power steering pump or the front main seal.

@@ksellgarage Got me worried about the VTC. I'll check it out. Leak is passenger side bottom but there's a noise when rpm's get to 2500 and disappears if gears change and rpm lowers. No vacuum leak or belt problem. Thought it was trans but sound seems to originate passenger side and is a metallic whistle - like a race but different.... dunno. And lifters are tapping. I need a mechanic in LA that doesn't charge ridiculous LA prices. Thanks for the suggestion!

@@napoleontorrico7164 No leak there....yet. Appreciate the response!

I'm in LA and have a Honda whisperer repairman who only does Honda Acuras. Drop me you contact info if you like

Why did you want to replace it? Was it a "just in case" or did you have symptoms?

[@ksellgarage]

The car has been burning oil. PCV is an easy and low priced replacement and a good first step to diagnose the issue. In this case I dont think the PCV was the cause of the oil consumption.

I tried to remove mine,but i couldn't remove it, the hose was glued to the pcv valve,how did you do it?

[@ksellgarage]

Hoses often get frozen or stuck on to the nipple. Twisting the hose with a pair of pliers or hose pliers will usually loosen it up. If you plan to replace the hose it may be easier to cut it off.
