to anyone does this now, you dont have to undo the motor mounts you have access to get all 4 compressor bolts, you can undo those and push the compressor a little bit and you'll have enough room to get the clutch out.
I have a 4th gen CR-V (2013) and once the screws are loose, they don't move or shift around. Screws are stationary, unless I need to hit the striker harder with a hammer to free a possibly frozen back plate?
What happens if mine came completely off in the plate that holds the bolts in fell into the frame of the door and now my door won't lock at all... Is there a way to fix it😢
I believe they are 5mm spacers, not sure what brand, they came on the car already. Seem to work just fine so far, I've had no issues but I'm not really pushing the car, just regular street driving.
@fixthisone nope no issues at all. I have removed the spacers to run other aftermarket wheels with a lower offset (+35) directly to the hub. Everything ran straight and smooth. 👍
Hi, I put the steering rack back on but i didnt index it to the steering wheel, its off by 90 degrees, can I pull my steering wheel off and then re-index it?
*Critical, active ingredient of coating remover for aluminum substrates is Methylene Chloride. F! the EPA. You can still find gallon cans of MC for sale, online and in-person. You just have to be diligent and possibly, creatively lie a little <[;) Cheers!*
*Other common no-engagement cause is failed USDM Omron A/C (and many other circuits) relay. Replace with Honda/Mitsuba 39794-SDS-A05 (Made in Vietnam), once and done. Oh man! Doing this in the rain shows your high level of task focus and dedication. Respect!.*
*Superb presentation with well-planned, careful workmanship on full display. Now, where does one find those mentioned, but not used t-conns? 3M Automotive product? Liked and sub'd. Cheers!*
Does anyone know what the proper gap should be? .20? What is the shim gap supposed to be. I've got a 09 Civic DX 1.8, but seen this done on the car with belt on
*Credit (or blame) for that tone belongs to FIAMM's (Fabbrica Italiana Accumulatori Motocarri Montecchio) successful air horns from the 1960s onward. Popularity of FIAMM's dual short red air horns package (OE on Alfas, FIATs, Ferraris, Lambos, etc.) dominated the worldwide aftermarket. To compete, Hella's objective was to create a compressorless, loud, distinctive and somewhat annoying note that cut thru ambient Autobahn/Autostrada noise. Now, although they have a slightly lower composite dB output, Hella's SharpTones (yellow frames) are even more distinctive and annoying. So in that respect Hella is killin' it. Cheers!*
Thanks! Followed your instructions on my FN2 and it seems to be working now, but i ended up using a pair of snips to cut the shim off instead of trying to remove the plate, since i can't be bothered to deal with the engine mounts.
@@justicator Mine is a 250mm snips at it was just about enough space to cut. The shim are pretty thin so it should not take much force. Anyway I fixed the clutch only to find out the compressor is dead too (unable to build pressure), so it was all for nothig :(
It's a tie rod end or pitman arm puller. You can buy or rent one from autozone/O'Reilly etc. They also sell these at harbor freight. This tool is less than $20 and is well worth the price.
Same issue, soudal t rex glue works great for gluing interior or exterior parts, its super strong. Thnx for the video im going to spray paint mine with resin black matte car paint to strengthen it. cheers
What’s the air gap measurement? I recently did a clutch job and replaced the clutch and coil. Now it won’t engage. I think I over shimmed it 🤨 Thanks for the informative video 👍
I am definitely going to service the fuel system. The EM1 is still a work in progress which you will see on the channel. I have a lot going on in my life ATM and haven't been able to upload much recently. I do have alot more content forthcoming so stay tuned!
