Thanks for this video, it was very helpful. As of this post, I ordered on eBay for $165 after taxes with free shipping. 1999 Honda CRV AWD, 216k miles. With the help of a friend and the right tools + safety it took about 1 hour 15 minutes
You can just order the Ujoints and replace them. Cut them off with a angle grinder, then take a dremel and grind down the stacked edges, the slip on new ujoint caps and lock down with C clips
I was told that my drive shaft is sitting on top of my exhaust and I need to get a drive shaft holder. Is that for the front or the back. Please advise
I had recently purchased a AWD crv 98 The guy said it was only FWD currently Becuase something about the drive train.. I don’t exactly remember what he said. What do I need to add or replace to make it AWD again.. thank you
Might be a couple things, if you can look under check your oil filter, oil filter housing, knock sensor and your valve cover if it's oil, if it's coolant check your heater core hoses and if it's transmission fluid the seals on the axles might be shot
Sorry for the late response, were you able to get the center bracket to line up? If not I recommend bolting that bracket up first and then mount the bolts for both front and rear flange
Did you have any issues with that center support bearing not reaching the holes to re bolt it back up? I've measured and my new one is the same length as the stock one but I can't get it to reach...
@@91eduardoski that was my original thought Haha! It is in the right way and its only off by like half an inch.. just wasn't sure if it needed to be flexed into place or something. Thanks for the reply!
I know it may sound dumb but make sure your parking brake isn't set, if automatic try rotating the wheels see if it turns the transfer case to help you line it up, or the same with a manual
@@91eduardoski not at all, I had however insured it was off. With that being said, I got it figured out a couple hours ago- you're right, though. turning the wheels solved it. Thanks nonetheless!
awesome thanks for all the bolt sizes. What made you decide to change it? I'm getting a whirring noise after replacing all wheel bearings and brakes and am starting to think it's maybe that middle bearing holding up the shaft
If I remember correctly I had a clunking sound and when I inspected it I noticed the U joints were shot, the carrier bearing can be easy to replace but you'd probably be better off replacing the driveshaft at that point if it's cheap enough
@@91eduardoski yeah it's more cost effective to replace the whole thing. I'm gonna take it off this weekend and see if it's the cause of the noise, thanks
@Panther 75 ended up selling the car last year after 2nd gear started crunching, but no I never ended up finding anything to do with the cause of the noise. I'm guessing it was maybe the tires? Drove perfect apart from that. I'll miss that little truck!
@Panther 75 by the end I had replaced all the shocks, bearings, suspension bits and pieces, cv axles, driveshaft, got another alignment, same noise. Some people on my crv forum attributed it to lack of cabin insulation
@@ezbgame2956 is yours automatic or manual? Have you done other work besides the driveshaft? Sounds like it's something not related to the driveshaft since that only spins when driving
Did you have to get it balanced after doing the replacement? I was reading up on it and apparently you’re supposed to get a drive shaft balance but that adds like 500-700 to the total repair cost
@@91eduardoski thanks for the reply I'm going to order one right now, I bought a 99 crv and the guy pulled a fast one and sold it to me without a fucking driveshaft and the worst part is that it took me 2 weeks to realize it was only fwd lmao
@@TurboRetard same thing happened to my sister she picked up a 02 crv and didn’t know til I got under it once she stopped by the guy sold it to her with no driveshaft
Waste of video didn't show how to take prop shaft off or how to stop it spinning or turning whilst trying to loosen the nuts as the prop shaft just turns.
Can't go wrong with the first generation Honda CR-V love Dem especially when they lowered on them steelies 2022 who still driving crv 🤗🇯🇲🇱🇷

Thanks for the tip. I was really scrathing my head trying to find the clip from the old ujoints. 1999 gen1HondaCR-V
Thanks for making a great video, very helpful!
I'm glad my video was able to help you!

That might be the U shaped bracket that is in the middle of the driveshaft
What size is the driveshaft? Searched it up on rockauto and there’s 4 different sizes
No... there were four bolts on each end, do they have certain directions to fit in? Or it doesn't matter if it rotating half turn?
No that should not matter as long as the line up and bolt in

The guy said it was only FWD currently Becuase something about the drive train.. I don’t exactly remember what he said. What do I need to add or replace to make it AWD again.. thank you
I'd look under the car and see what is all there, if all you're missing is the driveshaft I'd order it
@@91eduardoski appreciate you!
I have a leak coming from the end near the engine? is there a seal there that needs to be replaced?
Might be a couple things, if you can look under check your oil filter, oil filter housing, knock sensor and your valve cover if it's oil, if it's coolant check your heater core hoses and if it's transmission fluid the seals on the axles might be shot
Check axle to transmission seal passenger side.
Mine is not reaching. Is this suppose to extend more in the middle…?
Sorry for the late response, were you able to install it after all?
@@91eduardoski yes no problem at all
I bought shaft for 2000 crv, but it is kinda shorter. Can your bolts completely go in on both sides?
The driveshaft should have enough play to allow you to pull it flat against both flanges
@@91eduardoski thank you!
@@91eduardoski dumb question, i crawled under, but after put in front bolts, the rear shaft and hole do not line up. How to turn the shaft?
@@cocoslover100 id recommend jacking up the rear, supporting it in jackstands then just move the rear tires that should let you align the driveshaft
Sorry for the late response, were you able to get the center bracket to line up?
If not I recommend bolting that bracket up first and then mount the bolts for both front and rear flange
Hi, may I know the bolt sizes? All bolts
Did you have any issues with that center support bearing not reaching the holes to re bolt it back up? I've measured and my new one is the same length as the stock one but I can't get it to reach...
I did not have any issues, you're not installing it backwards by any chance are you?
@@91eduardoski that was my original thought Haha! It is in the right way and its only off by like half an inch.. just wasn't sure if it needed to be flexed into place or something. Thanks for the reply!
@@jordanhamilton9412 no problem, mine was pretty simple everything hopefully they sent you the right one!
Any idea why mine won't turn when in neutral? Can't line the bolts up
I know it may sound dumb but make sure your parking brake isn't set, if automatic try rotating the wheels see if it turns the transfer case to help you line it up, or the same with a manual

Is it ok not to install the driveshatft?
I've heard of people not running the deiveshaft and everything being okay
Sorry I'm so late to the party. Any idea on the ends torque specs? Thanks man!
Found it. 24 lb/ft, or 32 N*m, page 15-16 of the repair manual.
Hey Eduardo,what were your symptoms that you had to replace it?
Mine shutters accelerating from a stop.
Mine had a slight clunking noise and when I inspected it I realized it was pretty badly worn
Mine had same issues. One day it broke entirely.
Is the Chinese driveshaft the same part for automatic or manual transmission?
Should be the same

Do you know where I could get a hardware kit for the drive shaft?
Are you talking about the bolts for the transmission and rear diff?
Id try a local Honda dealership or ordering online though hondapartsnow.com
Good shit!!
Whats up guys, i replaced my driveshaft and i hear grinding noise when i drive it can someone help.?
Where is the grinding coming from?
@@91eduardoski from the front as soon as i start the engine you can hear it rite Underneath

None, sold the crv last year but last I heard she was still going strong
@@91eduardoski ok okay, well thank you for responding so quick I really appreciate it!
No problem and good luck!
Hey man, did you torch the bolts at all?
No I did not, I used PB blast on mine
My awd shaft die today need to replace it 😒
I'm sorry to hear that! If you have any questions when you're replacing it don't hesitate to ask me!

Nice overview bro. Well documented and explained. Thanks. How is the drive shaft holding up?
Thanks I really appreciate it! So far it's been good! I've had other issues with it but nothing to do with the driveshaft 👌
Thnx man. I like the less than $1000 part!!
I'm on my third driveshaft:(
Is it still good ?
I sold the CR-V a couple years back
Just found out the previous owner removed the driveshaft on my 99 crv (I’m new to learning cars btw)
That's not good! Hopefully you replaced it?
@@91eduardoski yeah I installed it and it’s been doing well. Just gotta find out why it’s running lean, then I’m all set.
@@idontknow.1514 Did you get that figured out?

It held up great, recently sold the crv but as far as I know it's still holding up, I've kept in touch with the new owner.

Waste of my time reading this, go make your own video then.
I like how you dont even show the removal of the driveshaft.... waste of a video
I feel like he explained the removal and install good enough for someone who knows how to use a wrench to be able to complete this job
