"Hey bro, I snapped an intake bolt off into my head, you mind drilling it out and tapping a new one in? Thx bro it means alot" Said no brother ever 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’ve always worked on my own cars as a DIYer. Being a California boy, the rust and corrosion you and Eric O. encounter just blows me away. I enjoyed watching you plow through the Element’s fluid changes, and rust abatement.
I love this slowly but surely, methodical pace of work. The timing of the video also reflects it. It's relaxing AND educative. Thanks for keeping it up after so many years.
Eric is the brother every family wants to have. I like having same model cars within family that makes the repairs and maintenance easier especially when they share common parts. We have three Camry.
Really? LoL we have 3 corollas, a 2001, a 2003 and a 2016, a 93 gmc truck suburban, 2000 Tahoe z71 (obs 5.7) 2000 Silverado half ton (nbs) 2003 GMC Sierra 2500hd vortec, 2005 Lexus, 2002 Honda Civic 2 door
We have 98 I4, 99 v6 and 2010 I4 Camry. The 99 V6 was given to us at its 19th year. I can swap some parts among the 98 and 99 Camry and I can shuffle batteries among all three of them. 2010 Camry is for long distance travel and the 98 is for local due to its age. The Japan made 99 v6 drives really well with few problems.
Eric, I have no idea why other service technicians always do a half baked job? I really appreciate your Honesty and integrity! Great Video. Your Brother should be extremely proud of you! I decided to service my own cars!
I just bought a 2005 Honda Element and I’ve been binge watching your whole Element playlist. Thank you so much for filming all this, editing it and sharing your knowledge!
Oh my goodness Eric.. can't thank you enough.. about 1.5 years ago, had a R56 Mini Cooper S car - and your content helped me through THOUSANDS in savings repair-wise (mine suffered a failed piston landing). Then now I have a one-owner, dealer-serviced, '03 EX/AWD Element - and AGAIN ! you are saving the day as I spend hours inspecting, and repairing, and refurbishing it throughout for longer life. Cheers mate !! Rock on. Your content means a lot to me.
I’m at 350k miles on my Element and quite a few times, your videos are what I used as a reference for repairing my E. Thanks for taking the time to post this and other videos like it.
on the steel plugs in aluminum, I hold hand tension with breaker bar, then smack just below my hand with dead blow hammer, the shock force knocks them loose easily. it doesn't hurt to give the plugs/bolts a few wraps with ball peen first(careful to not peen the tooling hole smaller size). this alone saves huge headaches on breaking, stripping or puling threads. ** this comment is about steel drain and fill plugs in aluminum differential housing and manual transmissions. NOT spark plugs **
Thank you. I'll be giving that a try. One of the previous owners of my Civic used Autolites (I believe they're steel or some sort of metal that typically doesn't do well with aluminum) and it's in there pretty good. It squeaks like mad. I've been using fuel additives too, im case it's just carbon but I will be giving this a try.
@@The513Warning the comment was about the steel drain and fill plugs in aluminum differential housing and manual transmissions, which have gear oil behind them keeping the threads lubricated. they're generally just stuck on the flat metal sealing gasket. this was NOT meant for spark plugs, they need a whole different approach depending on the head, spark plug type, thread depth and diameter and how much carbon buildup there is. there's a ton of different techniques depending on engine and spark-plugs.
I came back to watch this again after discovering a rusted out rear trailing arm mount on my '04 Element. Couldn't remember if you addressed that or not. I definitely need to do the rear bumper replacement as you did. I took inspiration from your rusted frame repair that you did on your Pilot and I fabricated and welded my own repair on my Element's frame. It's not perfect but I am hoping that it does the job. Just had it in to an alignment shop today and discovered that the toe is out of whack beyond the adjustment range of the eccentric bolt. I guess we'll have to live with that. Thanks for all you've done over the years Eric and please keep it up!
Eric, amazingly thorough, as always, right down to the correct fluids and all the part numbers. There is no substitute for all your years of experience and hard-won hands-on knowledge. Thank you for sharing all of this with us. This channel is a joy to watch.
I wish we had these in England. I would probably drive one of these if I lived in the states. Very versatile and well designed vehicle. Honda had a knack for it back then.
I to have a element. As a mechanic and a home owner this thing awesome never once had to borrow a friend's truck. I put the CRV rear shocks and springs and used the element tophats for a lift. And I toed out the front alignment specs a bit and it really helped with it getting pushed around on the highway. IT is still a box lol.
Eric, I used to watch you in the past. Don't know why I stopped, but I watched you on your brothers Jeep, and now I'm re-Converted. Thanks for a very interesting video, Ill certainly watch again. Kind regards.
Thank you Eric as always. Great job of getting this Element ready for your brother. I learned auto mechanics from my Dad and his brother (my uncle) back when they co-owned a Shell station in Southern California and mechanic bays were a part of the station. Not like today. Helping family out is a blessing.
Very impressed how you managed to remove the rusted nuts off the rear bumper. I have a 90 Civic I recently changed out the rear bumper that sad to see rusts away like that Element one. Watched this video as am looking to buy an Element in the future.
The blower motor in my Silverado was making a weird sound, ordered one from rockauto. Pulled the old one, found an acorn in it. New one was bad so I took out the acorn and reinstalled
I got my dad 92 accord. I'm in the middle of doing a bunch of work to it (including the timing belt with the help of a 10+ yo ETCG video). My dad asked "why are you putting so much work into the car?" Me: "So I don't have to hear from you for MANY miles" HAHA
Lucky man. I remember being in love with those accords when I was a kid. Years later, I'm still in love with them. I actually still see them on the road today. I can't believe I'm the same age as them lol.
it seems like a lot of RUclips mechanics i watch don't mind Hondas, which makes me feel better for owning a few. not that much better though, because I'm just now learning how to do good maintenance myself. So far eric, eric O from SMA, and david from car wizard all seem to not mind especially manual Hondas. I wouldn't mind snagging one of these elements for its last leg in life.
Ur a cool brother/dad! My family would never do anything like that for me. 😉 Glad ur puttn the cat guard on too! I'm sorry ur other was stolen on urs. I installed a miller plate on my '19 prius in my driveway. I'm older than u, but definitely worth it!😁 U & SW Eric are my idols. I liked/subscibed.
18:25 - 18:50 As a technician with Valvoline’s Canadian counterpart (Great Canadian Oil Change), I find this hilariously ironic. As a rookie car guy? Mad props on the vigilance of doing the work anyway... and, in equal measure, my sympathies for the unneeded work. Always sucks finding that out. 😅
Eric, while you were jumping starting, and testing, and charging, AND testing the battery.. I was screaming: "CLEAN THE TERMINALS! THE TERMINALS!" I've learned from your other videos and experience that if you don't have good and clean metal to metal connection on your battery, none of those things quite work like they should.
Eric, your videos have really been a source of knowledge and I’ve learned a lot from them. My 07 CRV and I thank you!! Keep the fantastic Honda content coming! I point so many people to your channel, good stuff.
I saw a good way of freeing seized metal on metal! After heating use cheap candle. Put the candle on the joining part and let the wax melt between.... works better than rust penetrants
Whoever serviced that car before didn’t give a cent about doing things properly. Fortunately Erick caught it and fixed. Any of that could have caused big issues in the future. Is terrible to know that some places don’t care about doing stuff the right way and they just hand the car down to indifferent customers that just assume everything is right.
Thank you Eric happy Easter 🐣 I always enjoy watching your wonderful videos love that you go the extra mile for your brother I do the same for my brother I am from South Africa
Great video I drive a 2003 crv k20 engine .I had a power steering leak and it was the steel pipe in between the rubber pipes its a pig to get at you have to remove the hydraulic res, it had rotted out on the steel(pin hole). Part only £35 in UK from Honda it might be the pipe. Carry on the great work🤘😎
im looking to buy one of these as my first honda ever. i think an 08 is what i need to aim for. The sad thing is I have no garage or tools as ive had to relocate and change jobs. I wish i had a shop and mechanic like yours in the vicinity.
As soon as I saw the sensor giving you trouble I knew what was about to happen. Just had to deal with it recently. Took the threads out of the pipe on one, and severely galled the others. And to make it worse I wasn't replacing the exhaust initially.
Do check under the right, front CV axle boots for corrosion and degradation of the metal. Mine broke last year as I pulled out into traffic due to corrosion under the inner boot. That was fun.
Put the nut of the o2 sensor in the vice with the cat facing up and turn the cat. It comes off like butter. Did an OE 1999 crv cat that way. Easy peazy.
I second that, my 03 honda crv seems to soak up significantly more wind on the highway with the roof rack in place. Add a basket like I did and its very noticeable over 50.
I had to replace that rear bumper support beam on my brothers 2006 Pilot. Your brothers element was even worse than my brothers Pilot was. I had my friend Robert Spinner (aka. RobertDIY on RUclips) get me one from a local salvage yard in Albuquerque and then he shipped it out to me. Worked out very well!
That's pretty cool the paint on your engine wore out where mine did I peeled all the paint off of mine and I've actually taken the cover head off and looked down on everything plus mine doesn't have any plastics I take all that and decrease everything and tried my best to scrape down and get everything out and I looked inside at the camshafts for 221,465 MI they're not bad at all only one of them has about a piece of tinsels worth the wear
My 92 Integra, and my friends early 90's Accords recommend motor oil for the manual transmissions. The motor oil does not work well. Causes grinding when shifting, it's not good in the synchronizers. GM synchro mesh, or Pennsoil synchromesh both work very well. If you have grinding when shifting, the synchromesh most likely will fix this at least temporarily. My friends Accord shifted well for about 40,000 miles after changing fluids, but did eventually start to grind again. My Integra got new synchromesh every 30,000 miles starting at 90,000 miles. At 190,000 miles the transmission still shifted great.
Some home lifts are not that expensive. If you plan to work on your own car frequently and throughout your life, they're not a bad purchase: MaxJax, Quick Lift, or a low rise scissor lift.
@@TheAlignmentGuy_TM I have a set of quick lifts. They are way better then jack and jack stands. I just don’t have the space for a four post. I can make due just fine I’m just envious or jealous of Eric and all his tools.
8:50 Wait, I thought that GL was used for manual transmissions? What I'm saying is like, with my old tC2 (which ended up costing me dearly) I specifically had to get a very specific type of MT fluid by Toyota that was like GL3 or something. I didn't realize it wasn't gear oil.
What a blessing to have eric as a brother.
"greetings brother, Eric the Car Guy here"
"Hey bro, I snapped an intake bolt off into my head, you mind drilling it out and tapping a new one in? Thx bro it means alot"
Said no brother ever 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love all your video.
From Montréal 👍
I’ve always worked on my own cars as a DIYer. Being a California boy, the rust and corrosion you and Eric O. encounter just blows me away. I enjoyed watching you plow through the Element’s fluid changes, and rust abatement.
I love this slowly but surely, methodical pace of work. The timing of the video also reflects it. It's relaxing AND educative. Thanks for keeping it up after so many years.
Watching Eric work on cars is always relaxing, his demeanor and attitude is great.
Eric is the brother every family wants to have.
I like having same model cars within family that makes the repairs and maintenance easier especially when they share common parts. We have three Camry.
Gary, that made me think of Southwest Airlines only flying the B737. Their mechanics only need to learn one aircraft. Best wishes.
1 4x4 f150, 1 4x2 f150, both years 2013, a 2015 F250 , 2008 dodge charger, 4x4 Toyota 4 runner, and 2 Harleys
Really? LoL we have 3 corollas, a 2001, a 2003 and a 2016, a 93 gmc truck suburban, 2000 Tahoe z71 (obs 5.7) 2000 Silverado half ton (nbs) 2003 GMC Sierra 2500hd vortec, 2005 Lexus, 2002 Honda Civic 2 door

I really like videos like this, bringing an old vehicle up to speed and making it good again is always great
Makes me feel all good inside and it's not even my car.
Eric, I have no idea why other service technicians always do a half baked job? I really appreciate your Honesty and integrity! Great Video. Your Brother should be extremely proud of you! I decided to service my own cars!
I think your the moat humblest machanic on the whole inter net and I think you for your hard work!
Happy to see more Element videos, as an Element owner (love them) this helps me out for those in home repairs.
Eric: If I am gonna have to fix everybody's cars, you'll gonna drive the same thing so I don't have to think about it too much.
What a blessing to have Eric as a teacher!

I'm grateful to have my Honda element 06, I bought it in 06 and put over 323,000 miles on it.....still love it👍👍
I’m amazed at the success rate you have with rusted fasters. I couldn’t believe it when the nuts came off the rear bumper.
Amazing video for me as a 04 crv owner. Especially amazing camera work at 24:52 breaking the corroded nuts off the studs!
Eric, amazingly thorough, as always, right down to the correct fluids and all the part numbers. There is no substitute for all your years of experience and hard-won hands-on knowledge. Thank you for sharing all of this with us. This channel is a joy to watch.
whoever works on this car after you will love you so much.
I love the details in your videos. Your operations with just enough advice are optimal. I find your videos to be the best; keep them coming.
I wish we had these in England. I would probably drive one of these if I lived in the states. Very versatile and well designed vehicle. Honda had a knack for it back then.
"I didn't like you anyway, light" had me rolling
“Hey look I’m a catalytic converter theif” 😂😂😂
Pocket screwdriver, a mechanics best friend, and it doesn’t need to be a snap on.
I love these sort of videos. Working on new shiny cars is lame, only rusty old heaps.
I remember doing the bumper reinforcement on my 05 MDX. When I put the new one in, I sprayed fluid film all over it to keep the rust off.
It’s so satisfying seeing you correct mistakes made in prior services. That’s a happy Element again.

Its why I subscribed 10 years ago.
I have the same green Element as Eric. That’s how I found him a decade ago too.
Same here.
The clear shots good editing and to the point execution, it's another great video.
Hope you didn't burn yourself badly on that exhaust!
The heat and those special sockets made removal of those well rusted bumper nuts a piece of cake.
The blower motor in my Silverado was making a weird sound, ordered one from rockauto. Pulled the old one, found an acorn in it. New one was bad so I took out the acorn and reinstalled

I love the outtakes. Makes me feel a little less stupid for putting my hand on something I should already know is freaking hot. 😂😂😂
Eric, you are legend. Been watching for years, thanks for the content.
Please tell me more about your red pressurized cleaner canister.
it seems like a lot of RUclips mechanics i watch don't mind Hondas, which makes me feel better for owning a few. not that much better though, because I'm just now learning how to do good maintenance myself. So far eric, eric O from SMA, and david from car wizard all seem to not mind especially manual Hondas. I wouldn't mind snagging one of these elements for its last leg in life.
Finding that receipt in the glove box was kind of a kick in the gut but like you said you basically have peace of mind now on all the fluids.
They say it was synchromesh fluid... riight. Didn't smell like it!
What a receipt says was done to get payment does not ensure what was actually done nor that it was competently done.
Ur a cool brother/dad! My family would never do anything like that for me. 😉 Glad ur puttn the cat guard on too! I'm sorry ur other was stolen on urs. I installed a miller plate on my '19 prius in my driveway. I'm older than u, but definitely worth it!😁 U & SW Eric are my idols. I liked/subscibed.

Got a Saturn vue with jumped timing belt. Owner put $2500 in parts prior. 100% new exhaust. New cats. Sweet
He ain't heavy, he's my brother! Good job and good brother!🤗
Just bought 2005 Honda Element and it runs great! Love watching your videos for future general maintenance.
Something about this video says "He's hitting his stride again" to me. Well done.
I wish I was one of your relatives... giving away cars, loved it! Whenever I'm depressed I just watch Eric.
I saw a good way of freeing seized metal on metal! After heating use cheap candle. Put the candle on the joining part and let the wax melt between.... works better than rust penetrants
I use corroseal on my rust areas. Did a few small rear frame spots before they have a chance to get worse. Suppose to convert the rust to inert
Moar Element/CRV content please! Thank you Eric!!!
I appreciate your expertise. I do none of this work myself...same mechanics for 25 yrs in Norwalk CA.
31:07, I've had that happen to me before. Probably best to change them anyways if high mileage.
Great video for sure. Those hot things get me too. I always say "hot potato, hot potato" when they do, and that would be pretty often.
When I moved from Ohio to S. California, I almost cried once I got in the junk yard to get some undercarriage parts for my old car.
Just wanna say I wish I watched you Honda suspension videos before I did the shocks on my Holden Rodeo.
Double wishbones, man.
Wow ~ I take it someone ran through salt and snow and never bothered to go to the undercarriage car wash; you really brought this car back to life
I love these elements cause all the room they have especially rear seating area.
I love my Element, and have used eric's videos for reference in the past.
Good job.
Whoever serviced that car before didn’t give a cent about doing things properly. Fortunately Erick caught it and fixed. Any of that could have caused big issues in the future. Is terrible to know that some places don’t care about doing stuff the right way and they just hand the car down to indifferent customers that just assume everything is right.
you are the man! Invaluable for any element owners out there. Thanks for this!!
Thank you Eric happy Easter 🐣 I always enjoy watching your wonderful videos love that you go the extra mile for your brother I do the same for my brother I am from South Africa
Thank you! Happy Easter to you too!
Great video I drive a 2003 crv k20 engine .I had a power steering leak and it was the steel pipe in between the rubber pipes its a pig to get at you have to remove the hydraulic res, it had rotted out on the steel(pin hole). Part only £35 in UK from Honda it might be the pipe. Carry on the great work🤘😎
im looking to buy one of these as my first honda ever. i think an 08 is what i need to aim for. The sad thing is I have no garage or tools as ive had to relocate and change jobs. I wish i had a shop and mechanic like yours in the vicinity.
You just taught me a new way on removing one of the oil filters
As soon as I saw the sensor giving you trouble I knew what was about to happen. Just had to deal with it recently. Took the threads out of the pipe on one, and severely galled the others. And to make it worse I wasn't replacing the exhaust initially.
Do check under the right, front CV axle boots for corrosion and degradation of the metal. Mine broke last year as I pulled out into traffic due to corrosion under the inner boot. That was fun.
Put the nut of the o2 sensor in the vice with the cat facing up and turn the cat. It comes off like butter. Did an OE 1999 crv cat that way. Easy peazy.
Awesome victory against those fasteners, Eric! 👌🏻🔥
I have had good results in Rust converter first then spray with Crown .
I second that, my 03 honda crv seems to soak up significantly more wind on the highway with the roof rack in place. Add a basket like I did and its very noticeable over 50.
I had to replace that rear bumper support beam on my brothers 2006 Pilot. Your brothers element was even worse than my brothers Pilot was. I had my friend Robert Spinner (aka. RobertDIY on RUclips) get me one from a local salvage yard in Albuquerque and then he shipped it out to me. Worked out very well!
Eric, as icing on the cake you should put a 10mm wrench in the rear door along with that emergency oil supply. It's your brother after all :)
That's pretty cool the paint on your engine wore out where mine did I peeled all the paint off of mine and I've actually taken the cover head off and looked down on everything plus mine doesn't have any plastics I take all that and decrease everything and tried my best to scrape down and get everything out and I looked inside at the camshafts for 221,465 MI they're not bad at all only one of them has about a piece of tinsels worth the wear
My 92 Integra, and my friends early 90's Accords recommend motor oil for the manual transmissions. The motor oil does not work well. Causes grinding when shifting, it's not good in the synchronizers. GM synchro mesh, or Pennsoil synchromesh both work very well. If you have grinding when shifting, the synchromesh most likely will fix this at least temporarily.

At 190,000 miles the transmission still shifted great.
As usual, Eric, first rate video and narration. When I grow up, I want a vehicle lift like yours!! Oh yes.
25:16 and my thought was, " oh you found Jeremy's Lancia from the Botswana special..."
Woo that was hot i bet Eric but look at it this way your brother will be very happy with his new ride nice work my friend ...take care stay safe.
Very generous of you Eric. You are indeed a good man.
Thanks for sharing Eric, really enjoy these videos👍
Stay Safe👍
I know I’ve said this a million times in the comments but damn I wish I had a lift. Clutches would be such less of a pain.
Some home lifts are not that expensive. If you plan to work on your own car frequently and throughout your life, they're not a bad purchase: MaxJax, Quick Lift, or a low rise scissor lift.
@@TheAlignmentGuy_TM I have a set of quick lifts. They are way better then jack and jack stands. I just don’t have the space for a four post. I can make due just fine I’m just envious or jealous of Eric and all his tools.
wOww respekt fur effurt still my laD;)
New exhaust system is Super Nice @EricTheCarGuy
Great channel. As an owner of a 2006 CRV lots of useful information. Just subscribed.
It would be awesome to have a brother or friend like you Eric. I can do some stuff but you go higher than my limits
Don't forget to pay him for his job. I HATE peoples who called me only when they looking for some free repairs. No more free repairs.
Beer
The catalytic converter theif part had me dead. Victim of that 2 times, second time the were caught in the act. So now it sits in my room!
What’s the red can you’re spraying fluid on the parts? Your videos are definitely binge worthy.
Thank you for your channel, your skill, and your voice sir
if you get some loctite 401 glue clean the tear on the boot put some of that glue on the tear and hold it together its a good temp fix for boot tears.
Defenitly interested in what your going to do to your brother's element bro @EricTheCarGuy
Do you have a video on that red cleaning container? What is that thing?
Thanks Eric. Always learn something. Wish you were my brother!
Love your posts....even moreso now that I know you are an element guy ...I have four...three manuals and an automatic.
I want to take my accord to Eric and have him rebuild it after watching this.
8:50 Wait, I thought that GL was used for manual transmissions? What I'm saying is like, with my old tC2 (which ended up costing me dearly) I specifically had to get a very specific type of MT fluid by Toyota that was like GL3 or something. I didn't realize it wasn't gear oil.
Hoping to find an element for myself as a first car they look like great cars and that it will fit my needs really well
