I did the SAME EXACT repair on our family's 'spare car' 1997 Honda CR-V in early December. The cat broke right after the input flange. I also replaced the oxygen sensor since it was the original and had 235,000 miles. Thanks for another great video, Christian!! Cheers, brother.

@robertweir90344 жыл бұрын
Good job. Thanks for sharing and your time to make this video. Nice welding job. The only comment I can make on the exhaust job is to reposition that clamp so it wasn't protruding down so far, like turn it sideways. Question sir, how often do you change oil and at what point would you say 'time to get rid of the car'? I ask because it appears you have developed good maintenance habits.
@ValleyCityAutoYT4 жыл бұрын
Robert Weir that’s a good idea on the clamp, never thought of that. And as far as oil changes I change them at manufacturer spec. In my truck it’s about 6000 miles. Beater cars I like to change every 3000 regardless. And in my mind if a single repair costs more than the car is worth no matter how much you have into it already then I would get a different car.

On my 1997 monte carlo, the trailing arm bracket that leads up into the car rusted to shit and broke. So the back left wheel can move on it's own. Its put to rest now but dont have any idea how to handle that
