CRV 1-2-3, Episode Five: Pressing a new Bearing, Ball Joint & Hub into a Honda Steering Knuckle

CRV 1-2-3 documents - in ten minute videos - the trials I went through in turning a salvage title CRV EX AWD into something drivable. This vehicle came from New England. There were dead cockroaches throughout, it smelled like someone had died in it, and the rust. OMG, the rust. They use so much salt up there I was shocked that any of the car's frame remained. In episode one I show you how to start taking apart the front suspension. ALL OF IT HAD TO BE REPLACED!!!!

In this episode: we reassemble the newly painted steering knuckle and dust shield, using cheap aftermarket ball joints, and OEM Honda hubs and bearings. Guess which parts gave me a s$%tload of trouble? Car repair
