    Just did this but brought my spark plug socket from work so it was a 16mm not a 14mm lol. Also easier to turn the crank with the plugs out, I could not for the life of me turn it with a normal 3/8" ratchet. Really not a bad job, with familiarity maybe takes 30 mins tops to get all the stuff removed. I bought some hondabond HT for the sealant.

    Please, nobody ever perform this type of repair hundred percent nonsense. Just remove the 8 mm screw for the back panel to loosen it up and pop the clips out. You should have enough room having to remove the wiper to remove and insert the new handle.

    • @thehondafitguy
      @thehondafitguy Месяц назад

      That’s the problem the 8mm screw won’t come out of the trim without breaking it. The captive nut won’t let go so it twists and breaks the trim. I know this is a stupid hack job but its one of those situations where if you’ve been there this hack on youtube will save you from buying $80 worth of trim.

    Nice video and explanation. I'd recommend stainless nuts and bolts if you live in the rust belt like I do. My flanges have a lot less metal left than yours, you were lucky. Trying to figure out how I can avoind having to buy a new cat converter just to have decent flange. Welding will be tough because that would mess up the smooth groove the steel gasket fits within.

    UPDATE- I just replaced my handle on a 2010 Fit, you don't have to bend the linkage. Don't remove the wiper arm either, just pry up the black cover from the drivers side that will release 2 clips (if they break replace them) and you will be able to get the handle in and out without any problem. I put never-sieze all over that pin, spring and plastic hopefully it will extend the life keeping rusting to a minimum. That pin should have been made from stainless steel.

    If you read the MSDS on the LPS3 gallon bulk it is 50% mineral spirits and 10% paraffin and the rest is probably mineral oil. So it says tacky and is not as hard as cosmoline. It can be sprayed from a pump sprayer bottle due to the mineral spirits. So this can easily be made as DIY undercoating for way cheaper - and then just applied more frequently. Only the mineral spirits is flammable - so should be done outside and let it evaporate for a couple nights I would think - minimum.

Do you think I could fix the issue the same way you demonstrated? And why do you think this issue comes up in the first place?

    • @thehondafitguy
      @thehondafitguy 5 месяцев назад

      It is definitely possible that it is the same setup and fix since they appear to share the same platform as the Jazz/Fit. However I'm not having luck finding the wiring diagrams for a Honda City so I can't confirm that. The cause is probably the microswitch on the door latch assembly is wearing out and has burnt contacts. My guess is if you disassembled the latch and cleaned the contracts in the microswitch it would work as good as new. Unfortunately I am only making educated guesses as I know very little about the Honda City beyond its wikipedia page.
