Thanks. Wife's car was blowing cold enough but no where near as strong enough. Followed your tutorial, fixed it in about 40 minutes total, and now I am a hero. Blowing strong again.Thanks again!
I was determined to keep even pace with you since I’ve done this once before. Well, I struggled from the start and after finding a squirrel’s nest in the cabin fan, I had to press pause... Thanks for still being there when I was ready, I kind of feel like we’re friends now.
Jerry Sollien lol no problem, we’re glad to be here to help you through this process :)
Bless your heart! ♥️
Omg you literally have to take the damn car apart to change this filter. I have a 99 Accord and I'll just keep breathing in from the 20 yr old filter
Hahah facts
😂😂😂 yeah it was a PITA
Yeah I'm with you. I'm selling my 1999 and the new owner gets a free filter I never installed. That's a ridiculous amount of work for a simple filter.
@@Murp268 Me too. This is just about the stupidest bit of engineering I've ever seen.
Your not the only one 2000 accord great video but check out Scotty Kilmer he doesn't do it to an accord but a Lexus so easy on that car makes me want to go buy one the filter in the glove compartment pull out a plastic cover take the old one out install the new one no screws to mess with genius!
First time I’ve ever seen gloves in a glove box🤣
🤣😂🤣
I have a 2001 Honda Accord and 2008 CRV. Somehow Honda got it it figured out by 2008. It takes about 5 minutes to change the cabin filter in the 2008 CRV and does not require any tools. Thanks for the help on this one!
There are a bunch of videos about this job, but yours is the most thorough I have found. Thanks for taking the time!!!
Great video, helped me replace my air cabin filter. Amazing that you're one of the few vids that mentions the one screw under the center console plastic. I tried this years ago and it didn't work due to that one spot being stuck. Thanks again!
What a Pain in the Ass to replace the Cabin Air Filter in a 99 Accord. Glad I now have a 2014 Accord, Much Easier to replace, No Tools Needed just your hands, takes 5 minutes Max. In fact it's so easy a cave man can do it.
thanks for posting this.
by the way. you are the first person that i have ever seen actually put gloves in his glove box.
I thought those gloves were dead fish. LOL. I put disposable gloves in a bag in my glove box for times I need them due to covid-19 protocol.
@@gregcampbell1959 I keep mine in the center console between my seats.
Thank you so much for having this and the link to the filters. I purchased them Tuesday and just got done changing them today. Not hard to do at all. Thanks again.
Great video. Perfect. Finished the job in 25 mins with a phillips
I'll hire you to do my 2001 Accord then! Lol 😳😂🤣
1:03 :-O!! First person EVER to actually have a pair of gloves in the glove box. Lol! :-D
+monicaville lol
Lol. I noticed that too. Imagine that!
I thought the same!
Thanks for the video. Daughter was given a car and it looked like these filters were NEVER changed since 2001. I understand why after replacing them! Had to vacuum out a lot of leaves as well. I would recommend having a narrow vacuum attachment (like for a keyboard) handy just in case.
Hey thanks for the tip doing it this weekend thought about guess worked for you so will do
Hi, Thanx for the video,it was really helpful, I just want to add that if you have the EX model,you have extra nuts to take out in the center console that holds the ashtray,take the astray out and it will be small nuts under the metal bracket,once out you can take the nut holding the long piece of plastic below the glove box.
Thank you for the informative video. I replaced the cabin air filters but since I have everything opened already, is that the AC evaporator on the left side of cabin air filter? I am planning to use the Klima Air Conditioner cleaner and it says to spray onto the AC evaporator. Have you tried/seen this before in order to remove the moldy/musty smell from the cabin when A/C is turned on?
On the upper metal brace you only have to remove the 3 screws,1 on each end and the one in the middle. You can tell by the indentation in the brace behind them, no need to remove the brace itself.... Also be carefull when pulling out the lower dash panel. If it has been a while since it was taken out (like mine. Never) you might want to use a pry tool on the bottom clips so you don't break it. Be patient..
Thanks to this video i got it done after watching it. Im so used to older cars or newer cars that dont need too much nuts n bolts being taken off or the whole glovebox needed to be removed. But this is awesome
It's a good idea after removing the 2 filter sleeves (5:10) to go in with a vacuum and crevice tool to clean out the compartment before putting in the new filters. Using a thin long blade flat screwdriver also helps loosen debris (bugs) within. Yes, you'll find bugs in there .... many bugs.
Great video! i just did mine today and it went smooth as butter, it took me 14 mins for my first time! glad i did it man, my old filters where the stock ones and looked like birds nests!
+Rodrigo Balcazar Yeah, over time, they get dirty and filled with leaves and things you didn't know could get into there lol
In all likelihood is *was* becoming a bird's nest.
Thank you for making it easy for me to understand first time ever on changing a cabin filter.
Np
This is not typical of many vehicles. Only this accord. Unless you have no money and extra time, or are already working in that area, pay for it to be done. Buy the filter though. People laugh when I say I don't do this myself (I did once). But my back wouldn't be able to handle this much crouching for a damn filter.
Great Video, thank you so much. My moms car, someone discarded the 2 brackets that hold the filter in place. so now I'm on the search for some.
Thanks again..
Glad to help 👍🏼
Thanks for the video. I should've bought a trim removing tool because I broke 3 of the clips.
this took me forever but I got it done. Thanks for the video.
Nice!
I usually like to save money and replace it myself. After watching this, I'm going to let the dealer do it. I can change the spark plugs faster than doing this! Ridiculous for a cabin filter.
hopefully they don't over charge you for the labor...
Omg thats so much work for an air filter!!!!!!
yeah, I agree. I just changed mine and I couldn't believe how long it took. Rediculous for something simple like a cabin air filter.
If they replace all parts in your car mine was missing parts or Screw in the engine missing after a A/C replaced my radio wasn't working either seem they unplug the Antena behind the radio From now I use people I trust to work on your car I'm sick of these money suckers
The red Cover of the battery was missing I asked them to get it back they don't reply even the missing bolts after an A/C changed I hate Dealer I don't care how hard it might be i don't go to the dealer anymore I have to Replaced my Honda 2002 with 15,000 miles all my A/C system the dealer told me it was to old that is why I have Freon Leak in the system cost me $2000 to replaced they couldn't find the leak I found it for them without device
I had to missed work went 5 times to Honda Finally I found by my self the issue of the leak tooto long to explain it than I realized to late a screw part of the top plastic cover missing
I'm going to make lots of photo every part of the new car it isn't a Honda but a Subaru outback 2020 keep these in case something goes missing in your car after a service I never really check I was trusting the dealer was a big mistake you can't trust them they are there for big $$$$ they don't care about you the play the game when they want you to buy there car these weasel they want my Honda 2002 No way billy I hate dealer in Las Vegas.
You could rebuild the transmission faster than doing this filter.
Best video on this I've seen my friend doing it this Sunday thank you
Thank you very much... Without your help, I believe I can not replace these filter today for my Honda accord ...:-) :-)
will changing the filters help with AC
Yes definitely 🥶
I thought he was going to say you had to drop the transmission and remove the engine. I changed the filter on my wife's Camre and it took 30 seconds. Guess I'll just forget about it.
Was a 1998 Honda Accord the first year for cabin air filters? I have a 1997 Honda Accord, and I don't think it has one.
I’m not too sure, but I think so. Some don’t know they have it since it’s tucked in there so deep. You can also check out Walmart cabin air filter book for your year and model to see if your vehicle is equipped with it or not.
Thanks for this helpful video. Just changed the cabin filter to my 1999 Accord watching this video.
1:10 POG for actually having gloves in your glove box lmao
VERY good INSTRUCTIONS, I JUST DID THE REMOVAL using 1A instructions (they suck) it is quite a bigger job than any Hyundai or GM product - you give VERY good instructions!! THX THX!
thx!
I did it using those instructions too. No UA-cam videos available. Now I pay someone.
Thank you for the information. This was extremely helpful
People that design these cars are just crazy. 25 Screws to replace a Cabin Filter.
😂😂 I know right?
Thank you so much. A bit of a pain in the neck but worth it. The old ones were horrible.
Where can I get the cabin air filter frame? I bought a 2001 honda accord ex from a previous owner and i guessed he changed the filter before and never put the frame back in with the air filter lol. It had a lot of dirt and leaves inside that i had to clean out and im guessing that was caused by not having the cabin air filter frame.
Thanks , I followed step by step . Bought a 98 Honda Accord and it never was changed .
Demetrich Stokes yeah, not many people know about it since it’s hidden way back there lol
Hey how did the old filter look? Very curious. I've a 98 and can't imagine it's been changed for at least a decade..
@@shoDOHC it was dirty as hell
@@kingachiever damn. I can't imagine what mine looks like. Did your ac work better after you think
@@shoDOHC it was a little better , not a lot .
My brackets are missing can i use without?
My air quality is definately improved, but now theres a low humming coming from the filter. Any tips?
Hrm, never happened to me before...
@@NutzAboutBolts It went away. Thanks again 👍🏻
@@joedeegan2639 Probably a bee you picked up. Dead now.
That bar holding the bottom of the glovebox you don’t need to remove that last screw because as you see it falls to the side once you remove the other 2 screws. Besides you only need to remove the middle screw to release the glove box not all 3.
Best most accurate procedure! TY.
Thank you
Helped a ton!! Thank you for taking the time to make and share!!
I did it. Took awhile. What a mess it was inside. Like a nest. Thanks for the video.
they changed all this mess on later models were easy
Thank you for this video. It was very helpful.
Grunt work that dealers/shops overcharge as if were a difficult mechanical repair! Including I’m sure the cheapest filter they can find.
Sorry for being such a cynic, but I have experienced examples of this oh so many times.
Thank God for diy youtube
Just did it for the first time, great fucking video. I was inhaling straight CANCER from my old filters.
Great video Bro. Just finished mine. But after put everything back. WTH that 3 screws left over came from? Lol 😂 oh well, at least I’m done. Thanks again.
Haha, it happens, especially with all those stuff under there.
Very thorough. Thank you.
Thanks. This video saved me money. It's not a hard job at all.
yup :)
Not with these instructions! I tried (without removing that lower center glove box screw) I pried, pulled & got frustrated & then started looking & being knowledgeable in assembly saw that screw that had to be removed!
Really appreciate your guidance here. Very helpful.
Thank you, changed mine out today! Not hard but definitely a process!
Would a dirty filter affect the coldness of the air in my 2000 Honda if it hasn't been changes in several years? Maybe 10.
no, it would be your A/C refrigerant, it might be low and needs a recharge.
BUT - it would impair the flow of air - therefore not making the car cold enough due to low air circulation!
Excellent video, well done ! Thank You
Thank you
Right on point...Thank you!!!!
... damn all that just to get to the cabin filter im tired LOL -- is there a shorter way and what happens if i never change the filter out will that do any kind of damage down the road?
Yes that’s the only way, over time a clogged cabin filter will stink up your vehicle inside when air blows through it. Also, sometimes rats can get in there and build a nest too. So it’s best to check it periodically.
#Bummer
to the left of the cabin air filters you have a metal looking like filter what is that???
are you talking about the evaporator?
Thank you for this video it helped alot
Is this worth doing?
Yes because if you don’t do it, when you turn on the AC, you’ll be smelling whatever’s in your cabin air filter.
Yeah, but does it make the car go faster?
Yep, because now you’re smelling clean air instead of stinky air when air flows through the vents lol
Sure. Think of all that extra weight (debris) the old filters were carrying. Much lighter now.
Those 5 screws at 2:53 arent coming out. What do i do?
You need to remove them in order to access the filters, you can try drilling them out and replace them with new ones.
Those "screws" not only have a Phillips head but a 6-point hex which will allow a socket to slip over them (8 or 10 mm) and allow you to apply much more torque without stripping.
thank you for posting this! it was very helpful.
glad to help :)
🤚🏽Ain't nobody got time for that! I'm goin to the dealer! 😂😋
And it's not even fun or you feel like you are more knowledgeable. Just tired with a freaking backache. I'll pay the young guys at the shop.
So helpful! Thank you!
Thank you for tutoring.
what cordless tool is that? ( the manufacture make)?
Its by MatcoTools
How do you know when it's time to change the filter?
you will smell it.
jisozaki cabin air filters if you have one in your car should be changed on average every two years or less
when the air coming out the vents is reduced. Depends on how much crap is in the air where you live. I would say 60K miles is about average
my 2001 accord is leaking water on the passengers floor how can i fix it help me i dont know whats the problem
Ricardo Aguirre maybe your car 🚗 is crying 😭 😂
Heater core may be toast.
check the sunroof or moonroof hose lining they get clogged sometime or sometimes gets loose
there is sunroof hose line on right wall under the glove box. mine was disconnected but from driver side, just put it back inside the line.
Is this for the coupe too?
not too sure... its possible.
This video is awesome!
For 2001 Honda Accord - Thanks for showing the removal of the center piece but mine is too tight and cannot be removed even with a small pick tool (plier bar)..too bad
James Chuaycham you have to pull very hard, sometimes those clips are pretty tough to pull out.
NutzAboutBolts I imagine so. Maybe I need to get the same tool as you from Harbor Freight.
James Chuaycham
yeah, its a pretty cheap tool that's useful for plastic panels in the vehicle.
I replaced mine after a bout it and I don't think they were ever changed for over 15 years.
Teşekkürler. Videoyu izleyerek kolay bir sekilde değiştirdim.
🌴🇵🇷 hello I watch your video on the air conditioning..my car is a 1999 Honda Accord ex 4 cylinder air hasn't work a mechanic put feron u don't know if it was R134a fuel for the air door doesn't so .the most common reason could be a clogged filter ,cooling fan problem, resistor trouble,or it could simply be that it need to recharge,(regar) your air conditioning..
Anyone who watches this thinks this is difficult, try cleaning a plugged up evaporator on a vehicle with no cabin filter. These filters are for a very good reason, it's a shame they didn't make these things a long long time ago.
Why would they have it so hidden
I guess no good way to provide easier access and still have a glove box. Was that like 12 screws, or more? I lost count. And I'm not going to do it. Screw it.
The gloves in the glove box. 😂😂😂
how much does the dealer charge to do this? ?
not too sure...
around 120 plus labor in canada or you buy the 5 dollar amazon filter and do it yourself
I used to like my old Honda
4:40 lol, can you imagine going through all that and installing it backwards?
My thoughts exactly.
There's another video showing how it's done ... full of omissions. But the best part was putting in new filters without first putting them in the white plastic holders (5:15).
good video...thanks for the assist
+Wheat002 np!
done this earlier and man my aircon is back to normal...luckily i havent refill my freon yet.
nice. If your AC is still not cold, might need a recharge on the AC.
Some screws i couldn't get back in.........and i forgot about the brackets the filters go in.........
you fucked up :)
28 screws, 3 panels, two brackets, and a the removal of the glove box...
Just to change a disposable filter?
What a design fail, and a 'fuck you' to their customers.
yeah, this is the worst design ever for a cabin air filter lol. But ever since 2003 and up, their cabin air filter access is much much better.
at 2:36 I cannot remove the lower panel. It is too tight as it something are still connect to it, and I don't want to break it.
James Chuaycham you just have to pull it straight down and out because its held on by strong clips, and the clips tend to get old and rusty so it'll be stuck in there good. Just use some muscle to pull it off, you won't break anything.
Is this the V6 model?
This is insane for a cabin air filter. It's as if Honda asked German engineers from Mercedes Benz and Audi to design their cabin air filter installation process.
thanks for the video
Although it's a complicated process, I'll probably have to replace them since I am breathing in what seems like toxic mold.
😥 I'm so sorry!
Make sure the arrow is pointing left. Puts it in the wrong way. Im sure that was u that did it the first time! Hahahahaha
Thank for your video I did my self
dealerships and lube places I've worked at charge anywhere from 150 to 250 just to do this , I've had plenty of practice with this specific filter lol 15 mins tops removal and all back together again its a bitch the first go around tho 😂
Necesito ubicar filtro polen Honda Accord 1995
Still helping us in 9/28/2018
Jesus Christ. You practically need to drop the engine and remove the roof to get to these 😂
You forgot rebuilding the tranny.
What a horrible process to get to the air cabin filter. I can do it no doubt since it is just nuts and bolts but that is just time consuming. Anyways, thanks for the video.
I got tired just watching this... I'll just buy a new car..
Video seems to be a little out of order, but helpful nonetheless.
The one thing I don't like about my 1999 Accord's design is this, just about 19 steps to change the cabin airfilter!. Not even Jiffy Lube will touch it. I have another car, a Subaru. It's one step, unlatch the glove box. 🤣🤣🤣
All this just for a cabin air filter. Ridiculous.
thanks allot bro!
no problem! anytime! :)
