As an avid DIYer, I say thank you for the video. It showed me that I am not going to be able to do this job myself, but also gives me the insight into all the hard work that you have to do into this procedure, as well as letting me know what the process involves and how much/what I am paying for. Thank you for your dedication to creating content and information that all of us non-professionals can learn from.

I'm putting in a new rack and a timing chain at the same time as I have to lower the sub-frame for both procedures. Thanks for the video, this helps a lot!!!

Woww man! You are the master at that. I’m having the same problem with my 2000 CRV and I hope my mechanic can get it done as easily and quickly as you did that. Work smarter not harder. I’m impressed! Can I ask…Exactly how long did it take you to do the job from start to finish? Cause I was told that takes about a day and half, if not two days to complete.

You my friend are a professional!! Beyond my ability for sure. 2 questions what is the going price for that job & I hear a creeking noise when turning wheel does this sound like the issue? 250,000 miles never had issue until i did a fluid flush now I hear creeking. I used Prestone fluid for Asian cars just bought Honda fluid doing again hope it helps.
@MegaMilesBen11 ай бұрын
I dont talk labor on youtube. My shop is not your normal shop, Im discounted to help the community. I wouldnt be able to diagnose that for you on youtube either. I would start with a full flush and use honda power steering fluid to start with. Power steering usually whines. Struts and bushings creak.

Two questions… is the R&P electrically assisted on the 2010 CRV? And, do you think this could be done without putting on a lift?
@MegaMilesBen Жыл бұрын
Im not sire, this one wasnt. Ive done many racks on my back but you need to have the car up high (3ton jack stands are good) and be set up with extra jacks for lowering the subframe. It definately is a much harder job but yes, possible.

So im doing this in my 09 Odyssey and the service manual says to take out the steering wheel, but i can't figure out why? Is the seat belt trick a workaround? Only thing I can think is that they suggest removing it so it doesn't turn
@MegaMilesBen9 ай бұрын
Theres usually a couple reasons... the clock spring and air bag. Disconnect the battery and wait about 3 minutes, thatll disable the air bag. As for the clock spring, as long as you dont turn the wheel while its apart, it wont be an issue. I use the seatbelt to hold the wheel in place while working.

Is it really necessary to mess with the frame? I've been checking the repair manual and it doesn't mention anything about lowering the frame. There's one thing I don't understand. If u were to change the hose you don't need to remove the rack, so in that case it would very helpful to disconnect every bolt and connection you can from above before touching anything under the car.
@MegaMilesBen2 жыл бұрын
It gives me access and clearance. The rack was leaking. The main purpose was to change the rack. When changing just the rack, youd disconnect the lines at the rack, not above.

Not like that. Thats a factory defect. Its normal to have some cracks on the part of the pads that touches the rotor due to age. Ive never persoanlly seen disc brake pads crack in that style.
