Have you gotten to work on it, yet? I see this comment just a day old. We are trying to cut some corners ourselves, and do on our own. Relatively easy??
Unfortunately not all 2001-2017 have removable water pump pulleys. Much harder when you can't take off the pulley and you have to try and get a socket through an access hole in the pulley...
Good video, I have 2005 Honda Element…I just replaced the radiator 2 weeks ago and now my water pump is shot …You made it look so easy ! How long did actually take you ?
The newer models have electronic PS so they just have an idler up top, and then the tensioner. But the PS pump wouldn't be a problem, the tensioner would be in the way, however, to remove the tensioner you also need to remove the idler or the PS pump. It's really not a huge deal, don't over think it and you'll be fine.
Judging from the video, he removed the PS pump and the mount, as I see the toque mount is just hanging there. If you do this make sure you support the engine with a jack.
I am planning to do my own water pump on my 08 crv that i bought, I do not know when was last time it was done, what other parts do you recommend getting done while doing water pump? thermostat? drive belt tensioner? thanks alot for this!
@@NotTheGreenKnight On Hondas with a timing belt I always change the water pump due to it being a more integral part of the job. However, on the K24 four cylinder in the CRV the water pump is accessible from the outside of the engine and is a stand alone job. Normally my recommendation is not to change it until it starts leaking. Keep up with the coolant changes as the coolant lubricates the pump. I also use Redline Water Wetter as it also helps lubricate water pumps. There are people with over 400k miles on the original water pump on this engine. They don't all last that long but mine has 248k on the original and still in good shape. Also on the original timing chain and tensioner. Is your timing chain stretched and/or your tensioner failing? If so, then yes, good idea to change the Water Pump. I recommend using only a Honda OEM or Aisin water pump. Don't use a cheap pump. they fail early.
@@glennhansel9411 The chain is stretched like two teeth🤣. I’m replacing the chain tensioner and probably the guides with oem. I got a decent aftermarket pump that I’m not sure if I was going to put in or not. How often should I be changing the coolant because I replaced the entire ac system a few months ago and didn’t change the coolant 😅.
I like that you say torque to spec but don't actually show it.. because well all know anything under 20 ftlbs is basically just snug until you can't easily turn it anymore.
They had the wrong coolant in it. That was blue Asian antifreeze and I'm sure the bottle said Honda but, that car takes green Honda coolant. I've found some Peak at one place but everyone else only has blue and it's wrong for this model
Honda OE coolant is blue. I have a shelf full and it's what we use for all Honda coolant services (dealership). Zero Honda models come with green coolant. 👍
Super helpful video. Nice that you get right to the point. THANK YOU!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Great video straight to the point!! Saving me about $600.

Im glad this video help you out, please share and subscribe 🙏
Yes its easy. Follow my video no cutting corners
Its simple if it is 2.4
2010 saw the removable pulley for the water pump finally, easing the very difficult battle vs. the right side bolt in earlier models
Very good job my friend, strait to the point
Im glad this video help out.. please share and subscribe 🙏
Thank you for your honesty!.
My pleasure!
Should change the front vtec screen while you have the power steering pump out of the way too.
A very good catch and perfect timing to do that little screen seal.
great video, very informative, keep up the great work
Thanks for watching & the good vibe
Great job

Sadly I have a pressed on pulley. Thought this video would give me some ideas
Good video, I have 2005 Honda Element…I just replaced the radiator 2 weeks ago and now my water pump is shot …You made it look so easy ! How long did actually take you ?
Thanks for watching. In real time tooked me 2hour
Thank you! do you have a video of what you took out before you started rolling? was it just the serpentine belt and the power steering tank?
Did you Watch the V1 on this video?
What tools are all needed? For this process my moms 2014 crv water pump is going out
How did you get the pulley off and out. Got all the bolts off but don’t seem to have enough room on the side to get it off.
do you think you could have gotten to the top bolts from the bottom? wondering if taking out the ps pump and tensioner is strictly necessary
The newer models have electronic PS so they just have an idler up top, and then the tensioner. But the PS pump wouldn't be a problem, the tensioner would be in the way, however, to remove the tensioner you also need to remove the idler or the PS pump.

Thanks for sharing question I see your using factory coolant is using prestone bad?
It's not bad, as long as it's the same formula as the OEM coolant which prestone is, but you really should keep the same colors antifreeze.
What other parts did you take off to get to the water pump? Power steering? Motor mount?

don't replace unless there is a problem with it. Keep up with coolant changes to extend the life of the pump
@@glennhansel9411If I am doing the timing chain though shouldn’t I also do the water pump while I’m down there?

@@glennhansel9411 Also do I need to use Honda coolant because the stuff in there right now is green?
Which year Honda CRV is this?
2001 up to 2017
@@jfGarage4k The generations are a bit different. Which one is this specifically?
@@lif0It is the third gen. 2007-2011 in US
Only really difference you're going to see with the generations is the newer model doesn't have a power steering pump and rather an idler pulley.
I like that you say torque to spec but don't actually show it.. because well all know anything under 20 ftlbs is basically just snug until you can't easily turn it anymore.
Sorry im making promises here but never show on the video, Here the Upgrade Torque Spec
Water Pump bolts 8.8 lbs-ft
Water Pump Pulley bolts 10 lbs-ft
