Nice work! Just did a transmission rebuild and a rear main seal on my 2002 MDX at 228,000 miles. The ONLY suggestion I have for you is to use "Hondabond" RTV. It's the best stuff in the business. It's pretty expensive but you won't be doing that rear main or have the plate leak for another 20 years! I guess I don't trust the hi temp rtv enough haha. Nice work!
Damn bud...I hope this isn't the case w my pilot, I don't have a garage, much less a lift. I might have to bite the bullet and have a shop do this...FML!!! Sweet vid BTW, very informative and helpful!! I liked the fact that ur wife hung out w u during the process!! Mine does the same thing!! Thanks again bud!!
Remember coming into the shop for an oil change and I told her about the leak and for obvious reasons we didn't do the oil change as it would be a waste. Good to see it get fixed!
Thank you for this video. I have a 2003 Honda Pilot and you confirm what my mechanic told me about the main seal leakage...he too said the same thing about this being an expensive job and I could just add oil and an oil change.
Damn that’s a lot of work for the seal ! I hope you got paid well if it’s a customers car..thanks for sharing will subscribe and see what other jobs you have ..good to have a bro that helps 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great job . That looks 👀 scary . Just thinking about it the headache that comes to mind .But you know what if it were me and I had the engine out would change all the difficult seals and replace any old parts that are hard to get to . For my own peace of mind .Then clean the engine ..nice job.😊
I really enjoyed watching you do this as well as your commentary about sticking with it. Enjoyable music also! thanks for posting! How much total time would you say this took?
All modern Honda cars seem to have oil leaking problems, not reliable like Toyotas. Honda should use better gaskets and seals, ridiculous. Agree get to a point where it's better to let it drip or don't buy Hondas until they fix the issue.
I am losing about a half quart of oil between oil changes due to a rear main seal leak. After watching this video, I will continue to park over a piece of cardboard in my garage. A dollar per month is better than tackling this headache!
Great video man this would help me decide if I should put her down for good, or try to get more about of my pilot, so my pilot need timing belt water pump replace and rear seal would it be worth it to you fixing a 2007 with 380k on it?
Thank you for the most complete video of tear down and rebuild of rear main seal!!!
As soon as i found out he was from Canada I knew i could trust him.

Though I'm afraid this might be my situation.. This was a solid video. Thanks a lot for doing the hard work!

Thanks for convincing me to not fix mine.
No problem! Haha
@@macdonaldauto1792 I don't even have a lift, so I'd be doing it with jacks and stands. Hell no...
Excellent video , thanks! That's a lot of work for a seal...

Ahahaha. One of the funniest repair videos I’ve watched 😂 Found something worse to repair than the rack and pinion. Ooof.

You are a gifted human being. Thanks!
Great job! Thanks for the brief walkthrough, appreciate it.
Glad it was helpful!
How much did you charge for fixing the car
Great job! Congrats 👏

really wish you woulda held the camera still so we could see the leak and where exactly it was coming from.

Try AT-205 might stop the leak and spare you from a big expense of replacing the seal
Buen trabajo !!
How would this cost in a regular auto shop? Thank you!!!

You have all those miles and I was wondering if I should replace rear main seal on a 2007 Odyssey with just 162k miles
This is probably the worst job on any car. I commend your efforts. I'm too lazy and cheap, I rather just add oil every month.
on a rwd car just gotta drop the transmission. no big deal.. no messing with all that stuff in the engine bay.
@@givemefive39204 Yes I'm aware. My IS350 is RWD
@@givemefive39204no big deal? Try doing that with just jackstands...
great video helps a lot
Respect
Just had a rebuilt trans. installed about 6 weeks ago, now rear main has started to leak. Yeah, gonna leave that well enough alone, I think.
Nice!!
Your are amazing
Yep I'm just gonna pay the shop the 1200 dollars to do this.Im not even gonna put myself thru that.Money well spent.
Do you have a video showing how to change a crankshaft seal on a 3.5 Honda
Man how much is the labor? 2000?
Watching this makes me hate my life already. Have bad news for the wife hahahaha
Whats a job like this Cost?
Prob a good time to change the plugs if you’re dropping the motor.
Unfortunately your videos doesn't go over the most important parts, the actual what parts to take off
Costing me $1500 to replace Rear main seal on 2007 Honda Accord V6.
That's a hard pill to swallow! But it's good piece of mind.
I see a 900 dollar converter 😏
No disrespect, but there's nothing awful about this job. Can't get any easier than working on a Honda...in an insulated garage...with a lift...
Yeah no kidding, lift is cheating. Whiny Canadians
