Re: 00 CRV - Drum Brakes Squeak, especially in Reverse

Jack up the rear end, and give the tire/wheel combo a good shake down. If there is any bit of play then something is loose or the bearing is bad. Even the slightest bit of movement between where the...

Anybody interested in CR-V heated mirror mod?

So I am about halfway through retrofitting the heated mirror glass from the 2nd Gen CR-V into my 1st Gen. Getting the glass into the housing was pretty easy, but this wiring is really tough. The...

Re: Spark plugs ? really?

For iOS you need to get a Wifi code scanner, the bluetooth ones only work with Android.

Re: Seized lug nut

Both of my studs were replaced using the "cheat" way, which means grinding down the head of the new stud a bit so it can be slid past the knuckle. Now if you already have the tools to replace the...

Proper gen 1 HID retrofit?

Will do. I wasn't sure what color to go with either, but decided on the chrome to keep with the look of the car. In my opinion the flat black wouldn't go with my build, but I'm sure it would look...

Re: Seized lug nut

If you have to take it out by force, try using an impact wrench before pulling out the breaker bar. There is a lot less chance of breaking the stud off, and possibly being able to save the threads,...

Re: Proper gen 1 HID retrofit?

Re: 2005 CR-V wheel size confirmations

I don't believe that the center bore matters, as the CR-V has lug centric wheels. This means that the wheel is centered via the lug nut acorns. This is different than say my F-150 that has hub...
