Generally you'll want to jack up the front end first to place jack strands underneath (as in the video). The parking brake is attached to the rear wheels so you don't want to risk the car rolling off the stands if you place them on the rear wheels first. Of course you have the vehicle transmission in park as well. I like to chock the rear wheels when you lift the front end just to be super safe and also to use a series of ~2' 4x4" wood blocks stacked in a grid pattern under the frame front and back as a redundant safety measure.
I believe they try to give a jack that will jack it up from the side points so those that don't use jacks/have not used a jack know exactly where to put it (which is where you put jack stands when using a regular jack) With other supplied jacks, people would not understand that they can't hold the weight except for a quarter of the vehicle and they try jacking it in the middle of the car which leads to the jack becoming broken
Eric DIY ah the problem I’ve been having is the last time I was scrambling about under a vehicle it had a chassis, fixed axles etc. these modern vehicles don’t seem to have that sort of thing and are monocoques I believe. Apparently the support points are in a fairly standard position, just behind the front wheels and just in front of the back wheels, the area looks like the pinch weld but is slightly different I did not know this but do now that’s why I was confused but thanks for the video
If you're using the jack that comes with the car, it is a scissor jack and serves as both the jack stand and jack for roadside emergencies. It goes under the designated jack point on either side of the vehicle (it's in the car manual to show you where). This is if you're doing maintenance on your car and want more stability by using actual jack stands.
2017 There is a flat spot with a hole in the middle up front, it's in the middle of the vehicle. As for the rear, you use the rear tow hook. Jack stand locations are the same.
@@EricDIY Yes it does but as I was doing it today the control arms were bending down, and the 2 ton 23 dollar jack I got from walmart, the pressure became a lot more heavy to press the handle, plus I heard a click. I got too worried , it was like it was bending the subframe. It's my first time ever doing this. I need to do two calipers, and two brake hoses, garage wants 800, when parts I picked up for 200.
Thanks. I wanted to be certain I had identified the jack point correctly. You didn't beat around the bush, got right to it. Well done video.

So is it normal for the jack as you lift up, the pressure to get harder to move the handle up and down a lot so. That's what happend to me

can you put jackstands under only the rear of the vehicle while replacing the differential fluid?
@@mythic0145why not? Yes you can. Use the 4 jack points so there is a 4 point support of Jack stands making rectangle
Way better video than the others I've looked at. I'm a total fucking moron when it comes to mechanical anything. Thanks dude!

Thank You! I‘ve driven coast to coast in my CR-V and it’s good to practice maintenance things
So you can use the flat jack pad and not a grouped one to fit the grooves Ashe of the rear hack point ?
Yes
What’s the jack minimum hight required to lift CRV? Low profile of 37cm max works?
This is low profile and works. It goes to about 12-14" I estimate to lift the CR-V
Really appreciate your video - it's been really useful!!

I wanna know why they put a little ass jack in suv? The frigging thing fell 4 times! Had to call geico to come with a mans jack!!!

Do you need an suv floor jack for the honda crv or does a 23 dollar walmart one work for it?
You need one that is rated to support the weight of the car. My jack is a 3 ton rated Jack from when I owned a Ford Ranger back in the day.
Thanks a lot bro!

Thank you very much. Please share more 2017 Honda CR-V videos.

The Jack stand link you provided goes as high as 16 1/2 inch. Is that good enough height for rotating tires?
I have rotated tires with this jack and 4 jack stands.
+BMBangladesh I have rotated tires on a Ford Ranger using this Jack and 4 Jack's stands
Thank you sir

Someone said I can use the tow hooks to jack up or place that jack stands. Is that true?
+Jorge Padua I would not do it. Get a jack
+Jorge Padua I read that wrong. I believe you can jack it up by the tow hooks just make sure the jack does not slip
@@EricDIY I have an 07 honda crv, is it safe to jack it up on the rear subframe in the middle?
@@footage6402 I believe it is if it looks like mine.
