I was able to get the filter out by coming from the front with an extension and pulling the housing towards me. I figured this out after taking my battery out.

Yesterday, I changed the fluid (3.5 quarts after warm up) and the CVT filter (all new OEM parts), but after using the car for a day, I found fresh (clean, transparent like out of the bottle) wet HCF-2 wet droplets on the ground this morning (3 droplets). I touched all around the warmer housing unit with rubber gloves, but couldn't detect wet oil--just semi-dry. Drain plug area had a little wet residue (but I tightened to 35 ft-lb with a new 18mm crusher washer; hand tightened then torqued--done this before with no problems). Check bolt area is bone dry. CVT pan area above the splash shield is pretty wet, but I didn't wipe that down. I am thinking if anything is leaking, the CVT fluid color should be darker (not clean, transparent) since drained fluid was red-black. If 50% of the clean fluid mixes with dark fluid, I would think the mixed oil would be dark (could I be wrong?). Should I just keep observing for a day or two more or should I reseat the rubber O rings and and re-tighten the bolts around the warmer housing unit to 20 ft-lb? Do you think I can re-use the 1 day old rubber O-rings? Also, do you think 20 ft-lb may break the warmer housing 12mm bolts? Thank you!

@clinteatwood921 Жыл бұрын

I found it on the internet; it says 20 ft-lbs of torque, but I think it's too strong. I got scared and stopped before 20, and it's not leaking. Check bolt is also 12mm aluminum but is at 15ft-lb. Wouldn't hurt to try lower first. If it doesn't leak, leave it alone, if it does, oh boy. I tested 1/4 and 3/8 torque wrenches, and for 15-20 ft-lb, 1/4 is more accurate.

@@osvaldoibarra2527 En un Honda Bulletin, descargué especificaciones de torque de la web. Perdí el enlace ahora. De hecho, utilicé una llave dinamométrica ajustada a un par de 20 pies-libra, pero dejé de girar más antes de hacer clic. Tenía miedo de quitar el tornillo, así que no llegué hasta el final. Esto es para los tres pernos de 12 mm de la carcasa del calentador. Intente usar una llave dinamométrica para apretar a 15 pies-libras. El perno de retención también es de 12 mm, pero el par de torsión es de 15 pies-libras, por lo que supuse que el perno no se pelará a 15 pies-libras. Si desea apretarlo más, le sugeriría configurar la llave dinamométrica a un máximo de 20 pies-libras y apretar más. En mi caso, nunca llegué a 20 ft-lbs, pero está bien después de 1 año.
