  • In this video, Wes replaces the front struts on a Honda CR-V. Watch to see the step by step process.
    Welcome to “The Stanley Way” channel where we will cover just about every project that a typical American family will encounter. This is not a “pro how to” channel, just an ordinary guy videoing his own projects.
    Current and future projects include converting two bedrooms and a bath into a movie theater, installing a hybrid water heater, cleaning and painting the garage floor, building a mega shed, Kiwico projects, installing a hybrid solar panel system and many auto repairs.
    We will also post videos of various DIY science projects, mountain bike rides, and whatever else we like to do.
    You may learn something, you may not, but somewhere along the line you will probably laugh as Wes documents even his most embarrassing mistakes.

    I accidentally edited out the torque for the self locking nut that holds the top mount to the strut. It is 33 foot pounds (44 Nm) along with the 5 top mount nuts.
    Link to the Jack stand Safety 3 ton Jack Stand Jackstand Jack Automatic Lift a.co/d/jjLclK1.
    It isn’t always available so check often to see.

    You are already saving a ton by doing it yourself, It it easy as possible, buy the strut with the spring.

    If you have access to an air impact, you can sometimes just zap out the sway bar link nut and the top strut nut without them spinning on you. Makes life easy. 😊

    You can get the whole strut and spring for a really resonable price on rock auto. I think you can get all 4 for under 400

    What is the name of that type of jack stand? Never seen something like that.
    Greg vid, personally I am going to go with a set that has the springs already installed on so that I don't have to mess with a spring compressor. Also although the springs usually don't fail, they probably are not at OEM height after so many miles.

    I think you have the only video that shows how to build a strut for 3rd generation CRV. Thank You for that. I am planning on using the KYB Excel-G struts myself. I have a few questions I was hoping you could answer. You used the KYB bellows, which brand mount did you use? Can you give us links to the spring tool and the nifty jack stands you used? And, would a pass through ratchet work for the mount installation? Thank You.

    • @TheStanleyWay
      @TheStanleyWay  2 роки тому +1

      Let me work on that for you, give me a few minutes to answer your questions and add the links.

    • @TheStanleyWay
      @TheStanleyWay  2 роки тому +1

      I used KYB strut mounts and I got all of the struts and mounts from Parts Geek. Strut mount part number I used was 96883-05599776.
      Coil spring tool came from HarborFreight MADDOX MacPherson Strut Spring Compressor Set - Item 63262 hftools.com/app63262.
      Jack stand was from Amazon VKRP Enterprises Safety 3 ton... www.amazon.com/dp/B07KNH38VS?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share.
      Yes I think a pass thru ratchet would work. It will probably work better than my cut away socket.
      You are welcome and let me know if you have any more questions. Good luck.

      I just realized the Jack stand says no longer available and every other site that has this type of stand says “sold out.” Welcome to post pandemic supply chains I guess. Sorry about that.

      Hi Stanley Way, thanks for all of the help. I am going to do mine this weekend but I am worried about the strut mounts. The so called bearing part of the mount looks so cheap. Do you still have your CRV? Is it holding up ok?

    • @TheStanleyWay
      @TheStanleyWay  2 роки тому +1

      @@derekthornton1328 I do still have the CR-V and it is doing fine. There is a noise when you first turn after it has been sitting all night, usually when my wife turns out if the driveway in the morning. I don’t see any safety issues or problems just annoying. This could be the bearings you are talking about. I plan on checking it out soon to see exactly what it is.

    • @TheStanleyWay
      @TheStanleyWay  7 місяців тому

      We had a lot of knocking noises when hitting bumps and ride quality was bad. You may also see oil on the strut indicating a leak and odd tire wear. Most people notice the clunking sounds more than anything.

    My struts are made by Nissin Showa (2011 crv). Do you know anything about the brand? I tried looking it up on the internet but to no avail. I was thinking they used KYB/SACHS for oem.

    Has Anyone with a cr-v had issues with KYB ready strut? I'm reading on some forums that their all on one struts use the wrong angle with their mount on the top.

    • @TheStanleyWay
      @TheStanleyWay  10 місяців тому +2

      I have never used KYB ready struts but I have not heard anything good about any ready strut. That is why I buy the strut only and reuse the springs. The Honda springs are excellent so I didn’t want to replace them with something substandard.
