I have a 2006 CRV and there is another part blocking the two plugs. I can reach the drain plug but not the fill plug. Is anyone familiar with this problem and have any suggestions?
@dzubaks scope it out , get under it, look up at it, lift it, and I am sure it may be the same, but I remember one had to remove a canister, good luck.
@dzubaks If it is anything like my 2005 crv there is a housing right next to the plug protecting a couple wires and some box that gets in the way of the fill hole. I had to remove that first before I could get the fill hole open.
Harbor Freight pump 66418 bought for about $5.99. One hose cut in half. 11 strokes to empty 1 guart. Second quart required only several stokes. Then fell on its side. About half lost. Torque wrench would not not to trighten to 35 ft-lbs. So used jack 'trick' again to tighten plugs. Job done by 74 year-old on 97 degree day in albuquerque. Schweppes tonic water in Santa Fe motel tastes good. Google 'embedded controller forth for the 8051' for other projects. :-) bill
A torque wrench at XX lbs, is required. not force of how one removes, common sense goes a long way, and thinking it out will be the ideal task in hand
I placed the jack under the wrench using your method until I heard the crush washers crack. There was some oild dripping afterewards. But after driving 300 miles on a road trip to the desert there is no more dripping.
When I commented. weare only using the jack for loosening, tightning should not bedone, damage can occure, and a new crush washer would be the culprite. the body shoul have been strong enough.
You know I was drving down a country road last nght and when I made a sharp left turn my car started moaning. I thought it was because I hit a rather large racoon! This racoon was really big and it whent calump athump thump thumpt nump or something like that.
Anyways, about 5 minutes later when I made the left I heard the moaning sound. I pulled over and looked under the car and there was a smoking carcass. I not sure if it caused my sounds, now everytime I turn left the car moans. DIff?
one must truely be there to see the amount of pressure placed, a vide will not show that. nor am I argueing about what is right or wrong i am agreeing with you. I can easily snap the rachet via hand or by tool. if a Craftman or Klein.

I used all your videos, for my 07 CRV fluid changes. the dealer wanted $1178.00.
I spent $80.00 on fluids and about 3 hours. All that's left to do is diff fluid.
Thanks

Not being able to remove plugs is a 'show stopper'
Your video, unlike all others, allowed 'the show' to continue.

jack idea worked great on 2006 cr-v. I had to remove protective box held by 3 10 mm bolts to access top filler plug.

You should tighten the bolts using the jack as well!
Place the wrench on the bolt, place jack under the wrench and lift until you hear what sounds like a cracking sound and your dones!
