Honda CR-V: Front Driveshaft Installation
1. Apply grease to the contact area (A) of the outboard joint and front wheel bearing.
NOTE: Failure to apply grease may cause excessive noise and vibration.
2. Install a new set ring (A) onto the set ring groove (B) of the driveshaft (left driveshaft).
3. Apply 0.5-1.0 g (0.02-0.04 oz) of grease to the whole splined surface (A) of the right driveshaft.
After applying grease, remove the grease from the splined grooves at intervals of 2-3 splines and from the set ring groove (B) so that air can bleed from the intermediate shaft.
4. Clean the areas where the driveshaft contacts the differential thoroughly with solvent or brake cleaner, and dry with compressed air. Insert the inboard end (A) of the driveshaft into the differential (B) or intermediate shaft (C) until the set ring (D) locks in the groove (E).
5. Install the outboard joint (A) into the front hub (B).
6. Install the knuckle (A) onto the lower arm (B).
Then tighten the nuts and bolt (C) to the torque specification.
7. Install a new spindle nut (A), then tighten the nut.
After tightening; use a drift to stake the spindle' nut shoulder (B) against the driveshaft.
8. Clean the mating surfaces of the brake disc and the front wheel, then install the front wheel.
9. Turn the front wheel by hand, and make sure there is no interference between the driveshaft and surrounding parts.
