I could not find torque specs for the suspension bolts so I went by feel. As a general rule, try to piece the entire strut assembly together loosely before tightening any bolts, to allow you some wiggle room.
This is a QUICK STRUT install meaning the strut/spring assembly is ready to install. If you are installing struts only, and re-using the springs, it's quite a bit more work. I like taking my assemblies to professional mechanics so they can deal with the compressed spring. Mishandling the spring can be very dangerous, so it's best to avoid it without the proper spring compressors and know how. There are other DIY videos out there showing how it's done.
The rear assembly can be a bit tricky on this car when changing the struts. Videos always make things seem easier than they actually are. This is an intermediate mechanic job IMO. Take your time and make sure the bottom shock bolt is aligned with a screwdriver or some type of pointy shaft before attempting to install the bolt. The same goes for the trailing arm bolts. Do not force anything! It should be able to come together with a medium sized ratchet. Good luck and happy wrenching!

不客氣!
Just did the rear and was that a hassle!!! Glad I didn't use air tools for it as I probably would of snapped it. These were a BEACH!!!😂 I am glad I m done with it.
Great job!!
Happy for you! Yeah these are a bit tricky. I wasn't a fan of the design at all.
What brand quick strut did you end up using, and how is it holding up today?
These were Monroe I believe. To me they felt a little less comfortable than OEM, but not too bad if you aren't that picky. With dampers, I would go with OEM if I could on my own cars personally.

Now that’s how to do a How To video.
Excellent work.
Well done.
Guys, my CRVs is not giving comfortable ride.
Struts not leaking but im feeling every small bumbs on road .. should i change my structs?
Its 10 years old now.
Mine are the same way, they don’t leak but man can I feel everything. Been eyeballing all four in FCS on Rockauto. Originally I was going to get KYB struts and then order struts mounts from Honda but that would triple my cost.
@Jahalang82 does KYB gives better ride quality? Over oem
I wouldn’t say better than OEM but probably the same.
I might save up a little longer and order actual Genuine Honda loaded struts from Hondapartsnow at 150 a piece.
