Just finished this job on 2007 crv. 4 hrs to remove. $179 for new starter. 3 hrs to reinstall. Not too hard. No stuck bolts. 4 bleeding knuckles. Suggest needle nosed players for hose clamps and universal 1/4 inch attachment to ratchet You have to saw off the front half of the plastic surrounding the lug on top of the starter so you can tighten the nut with an open end wrench AFTER you install the back starter bolt. Hardest part are 3 behind the intake manifold used closed end wrench to to get at them. Good job on the video thanks ballpark price from dealer $900. So that’s $900 - 170= 730 / say 8 hrs = $91/ hr. Not bad Ps I have little mechanical experience. Am a wood guy you do need a full set metric sockets and wrenches and gloves
Easier way: Remove the 4 bolts from right side (left side leaning over grill) holding the radiator crossover bracket onto the side frame, lift bracket up/off frame and pull towards you far enough to snake plenum out. When done, push bracket back into place up and onto the frame again. Reinstall the 4 bolts.
At least for a CR-V, unless you're into self-abuse, do NOT split the intake manifold while it is on the car. (The "3 bolts" are usually seized and cannot easily be reached,even on a good day!) Take the battery out, bend the hood prop bracket out of the way (it's spot welded in), and just take the two-piece manifold out in one piece.
Hey brother. Why did you take half the car apart for the starter? all you needed to was raise the car, remove plastic undercarriages, then you can get to starter in 5 mins after you take off the plastic protectors underneath. You took the hardest way to it.. sorry see that. cheers. good job though.
Really I didn't know that but I think the subfram is block it you can't pull the starter down from the bottom. If you had done one already please share because take too much time doing it. Thanks brother
@@alltsab Yeah so, the subframe is not blocking the starter at all. lift the car up, remove all black plastic coverings from undereath, then start to remove the starter. you will need to turn it slowly to remove. I have done one before. Just hated to see you work so hard for a starter bro.
Thanks. Gave me confidence to do it when I have to do it. Looks like easy to tackle the alternator and starter at the same time. btw, what mileage was on the car?
After doing all this job to my crv i started the car and and it was idling to hight (2k rpm) and the the check engine light came on of curse i unplugged the iacv to remove the tb off the manifold any idea why rpms stays too high? ?
All Japanese car daily used socket are 8,10,12,14,17,19 and 21. If you working on starter, alternator, and power steering pump socket size are 10,12,14 and 17.
