Thank you Jerry. After watching your video, I knew exactly what I was getting myself into. It took me hours, in freezing weather to get the job done, but I did it.
Twisting hoses with needle nose plyers before trying to release them was my favorite tip. Also, I never would have known there was a clip holding the wires under the air intake, releasing that was a real challenge. Because of rust, I had to use a bolt extractor on quite a few bolts, but they all came off, phew! Also, the ground wire to the motor had become detached at the motor.
I'd like to talk to the engineer who buried the starter down there.
Thanks Jim, great video! My 2006 CR-V with 112k sounded really slow and tired when starting, even with a new battery. Your video was a perfect description of changing out the starter. It wasn't easy, the 14mm and 17mm starter bolts were very stuck due to 13 years in NE United States with snow and road salt. Got it swapped though, only paid around $100 in parts, and now it starts like a brand new car. You're the man!
Thank you so much for this! I followed every step you provided and got my starter changed. Those Honda engineers are evil putting that thing under the intake manifold though.
Great video Jim! I replaced my starter today on a 2006 Honda CRV. It sure was a frustrating job,but after watching your video I felt confident in being able to do it. The tip about removing the manifold studs made all the difference in getting it all back in again.
Great Im happy to helpThank you for watching
You are such a good mechanic! Very well spoken and informative videos. Thank you for the time you take out to show everyone how to fix there own cars . Big help for the people who cant afford and have to deal with all the RIP OFF mechanics (Not all but most lol) .Hope all your hard work you put into your videos pays off for you .You deserve it ..Thanks again
Thank you Joe. I'm happy to help . Thanks for watching
As usual, I watch a couple of others then come to you, and you are consistently the best. Thanks and excellent work -
Jim Just wanted to stop in and say thank you so so much!! Able to pull the old one out and install the new one in 3.5 hours and up and running for work tonight so thank you again for the time and education!
Glad it helped
Thanks for making this, you’ve saved me (and many others) a ton of money. Some notes for those without much repair experience like myself:
- I tried to plug the coolant line, but it went everywhere once I got the first one off. I lost most of the coolant in the system during the repair. It might be a good idea to drain coolant before first and replace after everything is back in place. Coolant is like $30 and it would have saved a huge mess
- My manifold had a green zip tie underneath it that I had to cut before removal was possible
- To get the manifold out, slide it all the way to the right before worrying about an upward angle. I pushed all the electrical/loose hoses back as much as possible. The real key is maneuvering it around the big tube next to the battery, if you continually move that tube around whatever is in the way it will come out eventually
- Front starter bolt was SUPER tight. I bought a 24in breaker bar just to get it out which made it easy
- My starter solenoid (the cable that connects to the starter but isn’t bolted down) came disconnected when re-installing the manifold. I didn’t notice this, completed the repair, and the car still wouldn’t start. I had to reach in and reconnect it which was difficult. Make sure to check that everything is still connected to starter after manifold goes in
Mil gracias Jim..Mi esposo ayer precisamente reemplazó la marcha en mi carro crv2008, lo hizo igual como tu..Le tomo 5 horas tomandose breaks porque tiene problemas en la espalda y estaba en pleno sol ttabajando..pero gracias por la explicación ..el gasket estaba bien no tuvimos que comprarlo nuevo..La cvr mia anda perfecto ya ...
Thanks for the video and showing us the best way to do it. Some comments talk about taking out the starter from below. The starter bolts are really tight and it would be tough to do it that way. Besides, I hate working on my back with debris falling in my face. I had only one real problem and that was a wiring connector on the bottom side of the manifold. I didn't know it was there and that had me wondering why I couldn't get the manifold out. During pulling the manifold out, I noticed it then cut it off. After this the manifold wasn't too hard to get out. It was a little bit of a struggle keeping the wires and radiator hose pressed down while wiggling the manifold over to the right side, letting it angle down on the left side before pulling out.
hey jim your technical expertise and methodolgy is so pure is exactly the help i needed and i loved that tip about the two nuts to extract a stud thanks for sharing this u really saved my day and taught me stuff.... thanknyou again sir
Honda is a pain to work on. Great patience and very informative video.
Informative video! I watch several videos to get the jest of the repair. You were the only one to mention to replace the gasket! A little more light would cut down on the shadows though...
Great video! This was my first time working on a CRV and your instruction made it a snap. Thanks for the video it was priceless!

Gracias Jim. I was able to replace the starter on my 04 crv only with your help was possible God Bless You!
Thanks for the video, Jim. Just did this job today and- other than the manifold being a pain in the butt to remove and then remount- all went well. Appreciate your work!

@@jimthecarguy if a plug or hose is missed does it cause the car to shake and idle?
@@jimthecarguy why does the gasket have to be replaced?
Great video Jim!!!! Another shared video that's going to help me out alot in the future!!! Thanks Jim!!!! I Really appreciate your expertise!!! Alot!!!
you don't need to go thru all this remove the starter from down under below one hour replacement tops.
The manufacture really buried that one. You always do great step-by-step videos.
wyattoneable you think that’s buried? Try removing the starter off a Honda HR-V. It’s behind the engine.
Thank you Mr. Jim . Excellent instructions .
I just watched another CZcamsr video where they removed the starter from underneath near the a/c compressor and the way they had to manipulate it to get it out reminded me of your a/c compressor video. That being said both that and this video gave me about the same anxiety and tested my patience. I can't imagine doing it either way. What was the actual hours this job took you? Thanks for all your great videos!
Took me about an hour to remove, and 30 minutes to put back.
Wow, what a pain in the blank! Thanks for the video Jim!
Thanks for sharing Jim!
thanks for your great detail and instructions
Good Job Jim that's why I took mine to a shop!
How much did the shop charge you?
There is an intake manifold bracket held on with one of each, a bolt straight in from the front and a nut from the bottom. These are located directly below the throttle body. One of these needs to come out. I think it was the nut because I didn’t see the bracket attached to the intake manifold.
Could you access the knock sensor when you remove the intake? I know the thermostat is right there also so it’s good to do all 3 since your already there.
I did my 2008 crv from below and it wasn't hard and didn't take long 😎😎😎
good video jim=that was a pain in the azz to fix
Do I need to order Upper and Lower intake gaskets, or just Upper?
Do i need to use a torque wrench for the manifold bolts or any other bolts? I have the same car. Where can I find these specs? Thanks!
What about the gaskets do they need to be replaced. Someone else asked the same question but there is no response.
I just replaced the starter on a 2005 CRV from the bottom and it was much faster than this method. Not a walk in the park, but removed in 1-hr, installed in 45-min. Check video on replacing starter on Honda Element from the bottom; nearly identical.
Nice video Jimmy!
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for this. I was wondering if my mechanics were charging me too much. Nope, they weren't.
Glad I could help
Maybe somebody else already asked this but I didn’t have time to read all the comments but how do you confirm for sure if the starter is bad. I have a brand new battery and it has acted like it was difficult to start for a while and now when I try to jump and nothing happens I assume it’s probably the starter, but how do I know for sure
Is the CRV starter motor the same as the Honda Element starter motor?
Jim thanks for the info. Any reason why you went from top vs going from bottom. I’ve seen others going from bottom.
My 2008 crv starter went out and was trying to see what’s the best, top or bottom. Thanks.
Bottom might be easiest, but you will have to think about how you will place your wrench and not hit your hand on anything because those bolts are on there pretty tight
I appreciate you taking your time to give us the video only wish that you would have had a camera looking downwards so that we could see better of what you're doing instead of to the side! It would have been nice that the makers of Honda would have made it easier for replacing a starter on this car!! Having to take this and that off just to get to the starter is just pure ridiculous!!🙄
Thanks for the info.
he cut the vedio hardest part to take of intake
Good job brother great helpful video
Glad it helped
Thank you!👍
Thanks for the video. What's the torque setting for the Intake Manifold bolts?
Thanks for watching.
Good because I got to replace my starter on the same Honda CRV my starter just went today
Where can I buy the special WD-40?
Gotta get me a set of those needle nose pliers
I would add. put the back bolt in the starter before putting the starter in place. Made it easier that way. I don't have a lift.
What starter should I get? I see prices ranging from 70-$300+!
what happens if you buy a starter from a parts store that are idiots and it doesn't work after it's all back together?
This is a tough starter, I was able to sneak the starter out the bottom on the accord thanx to the long starter bolt on the top, but not happening on the CRV... Give yourself two hours.
Thank you for watching . Don't forget to subscribe.
I can’t get the 17mm off of the original starter. I’ve tried various liquids and a breaker bar. Any other tips?
How did you finally get the 17mm off the starter?
I cannot figure out how to remove the manifold without loosening the top bar across the front or possibly removing more attachments from the manifold. I cannot clear the manifold mounting bolts. Any additional tips?
Yes you can take out the studs that will give you more room to get the manifold out.Keep me posted.
listen up people all this is isn't called for I'm a ASE Master Tech. 45 years Exp.this starter can be replaced down below by removing the plastic cover one bracket and the starter is looking you in the face 1 hour total replacement job.
I think I get them from the bottom jim sorry I miss your live show not home till later
I always remove the intake, it not the difficult to do.
the 2 studs that you removed above the intake manifold, do you remember what size they were? I am doing this job now and when I get to that part, I can be ready. Thank you! I subscribed to your channel.
Dont you have to bleed bubbles out of coolant system if you remove both lines on throttle body??
Good question but no when you start the car it will just pump out the air. I'm happy to help. Watch for the next free tool giveaway coming soon.
I know you are a pro, but have ever dropped anything down the intake? I noticed you didn't tape it off or cover it up. Just curious if you have ever had problems or just feel comfortable that if you do, it will be easy to fish it out.
I do a live stream on Sunday night on jimthecarguy at 7:00 PM (EST).I will talk about this .I hope you can stop by.
Привет из России! Стартер снимается снизу. Снять необходимо только защиту. Стартер ремонтируем, меняем щеточный узел.
is this the same process for a 2003 honda element?
Yes it is the same.
How many hours of labor for this job?
It will take about 3-3.5 hr. Thanks for watching.I'm happy to help. Don't forget to hit the bell for notifications when a new video is posted
Мне интересно ка планку снял на пауке? Я смотрю очень хорошо показано, но что-то не очень видно что именно и где
Starter out the bottom: On the video: "How To Replace a Honda K Series Starter the 'Easy' Way
" that is for an element there is a guy in the comments saying he did it from the bottom on a 04 CRV with details.
Remove the starter from the bottom front of the car. It's a tight fit, but you will not have to remove so many parts to get to it.
You don't need to put in new gaskets?
Actually yes you do need to replace the gasket. Thanks for watching.
Did it from bottom didnt take take anything of f but plastic and starter
thats right Matt.
Good video
I just did it mine and ending up getting code po177 valve stuck on hi rmp I have a losse house that I forgot to put in there the solinoied and I turn off the car and I put it back but still getting that code
Great job sir! Piss poor design Honda
why don't you take it out from the bottom?
Looks like, changing the starter on my Volvo XC60 is a lot easier.
Having to do this to get to the starter. Wow. What a mess of a design,
I keep hearing people say that you can get the starter from the bottom. Well that may be true, but i found that you hardly have any room to remove the 2 bolts. Unless you have those automatic ratchets where you dont have to do any hand movement at all, just press the button, spin and extract
Quicker out the bottom..
You need to get a head camera
stuff paper towel in intake ports, never a waste of 30 seconds
I did this on my accord it was very tedious
Vorrei sostituire la mia CRV HONDA del 2006 con 107 mila km con Jimmy anche se stesso anno
Thanks for watching.
@@jimthecarguy In italiano cosa centra l'orologio con la mia HONDA??
Way to over-engineer things, Honda... FFS !!! >:(
Real mechanics do not use WD-40! WD stands for "Water Displacement". I did not see any water that needed displacing in the video. There are far better products to use!
