Hey yall, this is my first post! I have a second gen honda crv. My car makes a strange rattling when idling. Most likely, its my ujoint- my buddy and I inspected it and saw it was messed up. I dont have the energy or patience to deal with replacing the ujoint with the current rear driveshaft- which, was replaced 5 years ago by the old owner. Im replacing the entire thing. What I need your help with is if you could tell me what the bolt sizes are for this? With my luck, I dont want to be in a situation where a damn bolt breaks or gets lost, who knows. Been there, done that. So, im going to replace all of the hardware instead of hoping that the last owner did/trying my luck with my 21 year old car. So in summary: anyone know the specs for the hardware needed to install a rear driveshaft? honda dealer told me i had to be more specific lol...

 

Check out this site for part lookups. You might be able to glean the bolt size from there. 2004 Honda CR-V Genuine Parts | Honda Parts Center

But yes, be prepared with carbide blades if you have to cut them out.
