Honda CRV Drive shaft U joint replacement

[Joe]

I was just wondering if anyone has come across this yet or not. I recently had mine go bad on my 2001 and was able to press out the “none replaceable” u joint and press in new, grease able ones.

Give us some details. Had to replace my shaft for 1000$ a few years ago.

It’s actually really simple, if you’ve changed normal u-joints before, you can do it. Below is the link to the replacement u-joint. When I did mine, only one was bad, but I replaced both while it was off.

There are a few things that Honda says are ‘non-servicable’ that are. I’m sure you could have replaced those joints if you were able to find a replacement part but I have yet to run into that issue so I couldn’t say for sure. It would be nice to replace them with something serviceable though.

Check out the link I posted.
