Seems that just removing the PS pump still does not give the clearance needed. I have yet to find any videos of people getting it out that way. Honda really screwed up when they designed the 2nd gen CRV when it comes to servicing the alternator. So if you claim you did it just removing the PS pump you have managed something that nobody including Honda techs have ever been able to do.
@@adamn7516 I don't replace them by JUST removing the PS pump. That was something that I did in addition. Trying to squeeze my big hands and fat fingers into anything just doesn't work for me. I do a lot of jobs by removing more than I probably have to. I know it takes longer. It just works for me.
I found this to be completely helpful, minimal work/effort. No need to get labor intensive. Removing the PS pump would not have made this any easier, it would only make for extra time and labor. If PS pump is in the way you are going at it wrong, take a minute, step back and size it up; you are working from below the PS pump. Fly if you can, climb if you must, lol. Super simple! 25 minutes from start to fully extracted. Reverse looks to be a breeze. Once unbolted it is free enough to easily manage disconnecting and reconnecting everything.
So just to recap. Just remove one fan and the metal center piece, the coolant reservoir and stick a metal sheet or something to protect the radiator and of course have the belt loose and then remove bolts from alternator? Then work the alternator toward the driver's side and up and out by the second fan? Not sure if i missed anything when removing the alternator bolts. Are you working from above or getting under the car also? Thanks
Good explanation gets down to the point not like other guys still tell you their life story before they even start loosening a bolt
I found it much easier to take off the power steering pump so its not in the way. It comes off pretty easily. Thanks for the video.

So far I have in 25 minutes from start to full extraction. Waiting on new one to arrive. I miss auto electric shops, that's a lost art.
Does the fan need to come out? Passenger side fan?
Yep
Jesus, I’m having flashbacks of the fight scenes from Jason Bourne movies. Anyone have any motion sickness pills in them?
