Word of warning to anyone else who has no experience with this stuff, like me. That bolt is HARD to get out. Yes - you’re turning it correctly, it’s not reverse threaded . We bent a lot of metal trying to get this thing out, even with an impact wrench and deep impact socket. In the end an overnight wd40 soak and a high torque wrench did the trick! Great video, keep them coming :)
By far, the best video of this procedure. Thanks man!
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much for this video. I have a leak and thought it was just the power steering return which I will replace along with the belt but you enlightened me to another old seal needing replaced while I'm down there. I've subscribed to your channel not just because my 03 crv needs most of the repairs you have posted but mostly because you don't bullsht through half the video about frivolous crap I have to fast-forward through...not to mention your camera shots are well lit on the parts I need to see. Keep posting it and I'll keep liking them. P.s. thanks for the belt diagram. It was above and beyond the repair and exactly what I needed. Keep on getting down and dirty. Thank you for all you post.
Thanks for your kind words! It’s good to hear my videos are helping because I struggle with the balance of shooting good video and just getting the car fixed and back on the road.
Thanks a lot for the video. I need to do this to a 2003 CRV with 194,000 miles that we've had since 2004. I replaced the oil sending unit, valve cover gaskets and a solenoid gasket but it's still leaking so I imagine that's where it's at. Looks like the hardest part is the belt.
Glad it helped. You should check the VTC screen and gasket on the front of the head as well. It is a common leak point that will seep down the belt side of the motor. I’ll have a video of that up soon.
@ksellgarage 0k thanks!
Thanks for this! mines been leaking for a while, if I'd know it was this easy I'd have done it ot sooner.
Nice tutorial
Thanks
Thank you kind sir I subscribed 🎉
I believe I may have this same problem.. on my Honda the oil leaks between the tire and rim
Good evening, I accidentally broke the crankshaft sensor plug on my 2006 CRV, I can't find another one to replace and I need a photo illustrating the position of the sensor wires, please

I have a 2006 Honda Crv. A local shop told me they would have to remove and replace the timing cover gasket in order to replace the crankshaft seal. Is this correct or are they trying to scam me?
You definitely don’t have to remove the timing cover to replace the front main crankshaft seal. If the timing cover is leaking too then yes, possibly they aren’t 100% sure what’s leaking and want to ensure all of it is sealed to prevent a bring back.
Does it make any sense to put a very thin layer of RTV on the timing cover where the seal mates just in case there is a scratch on the cover? Or maybe silicone grease?
the TCS4051 Felo Pro gasket used has an extra ring / gasket, anyone know what's that for?
It's for a seal on the back side of the timing cover. If you're only changing the main seal you can toss that small triangle seal
Did you use oem or felpro? I just did it with latter and amazed how easy it pushed in…hope it doesn’t leak…have you checked since doing it and driving?
I used a felpro, mine pressed in very easy as well. Have put about 200 miles on it since replacing it and all is good.
@@ksellgarage good to hear did you look under cover though?
Under the timing cover? No.
I did pull up the wheel well plastic cover and took a peek. Actually I was fetching a socket I dropped, but I checked for leaks while in there.
why my side 2005 crv different than urs? I dont see you got a tensioner cover
My mechanic quoted me $475 to replace what you just did in under an hour saying 3.5 hours of labor for a $20 part #91212-pnc-004 part number which is different than what you put up plus a solenoid filter. I just replaced the serpentine belt, a/c compressor and power steering pump, solenoid and spark plus. Wouldn't he have seen this leak as he was repairing all the rest of the stuff I just repaid including the solenoid filter?
There are several different Honda part numbers from different manufacturers for the front main seal.
I just replaced a leaking VTC screen, (video soon) if he did the power steering pump and ac compressor he should have noticed a leak here. These tend to make a mess and can prematurely kill the alternator as well. The power steering pump and belt tensioner need to come off to replace the VTC screen, and it’s a common leak point. So it would have been good to do when he had all that off.
Dropping a wrench...I've never related more to anything in my life.
It’s what I am best at. 🤪
Was that a new oem seal? And do they all go in that easy?
I used a new Fel-Pro seal.
In my experience they all fit the same and slide in easy.
Honda has multiple OEM part numbers for this seal.

@@ksellgarage thank you got it 🙏🏻
Any leak after few months ??
Still holding. Just sprung a leak at the vtc screen though. 🤪
So many bad tattoos.😅
My 2006 CRV 292k miles, just had the cam sensor code come up with the VSA & Triangle symbol. I dont notice anything acting/driving different. I have a cheap scanner & erased the code, but it comes back the next day. Any idea's?
The VSA and ABS lights are likely being triggered because of the CEL. What is the code you are getting? P0341? Do you know when the timing chain was replaced last? There is a list of things that can cause that code but more than often it’s a stretched timing chain.
Thanks for the response. Looking back at the old service history, I did see some Timing chain work, but it may have just been the tensioner? (I will go back & check) Todays update is the check engine light is on, Yes PO341 but the VSA & Triangle symbol are no longer on. I don't hear rattling or any noises or see any differences in how it drives?@@ksellgarage
