For my 05 V6, I'd like to suggest to those that are trying it out for the first time to take the pulley off: NO IMPACT DRILL, NO PROBLEM! *BEFORE* TAKING OFF THE BELT, HOLD THE PULLEY STURDY WITH ONE HAND SO IT DOESN'T MOVE GRAB A *SIZE 19 WRENCH* TO LOOSEN THAT PULLEY BOLT SO YOU CAN HAND TURN IT LATER WHEN ITS OFF WHEN REINSTALLING: HAND TIGHTEN BOLT AND PUT THE BELT BACK ON PULLEY WITH BOTH SCREWS IN GRAB THE WRENCH AND HOLD BELT AND PULLEY AGAIN BUT TIGHTEN IT TO SAME TIGHTNESS AS BEFORE YW

Got a 2007 acura tsx, looks like the same exact engine. Replaced the o ring on the suction side hose clamp mount, but that did not fix the leak. Its leaking at the seam on the pump right below the suction hose mount. As soon as I start it starts to leak. Gonna try a rebuild kit first, since its probably the seals are worn and causing the leak. Good video. Thanks.

Nice that it sits up top, makes the job a lot easier. Last week I replaced ac compressor on my son's 2003 Accord and was very difficult due to tight space around lower bolts. A week later and his power steering pump has failed, is making one hell of a clattering sound, I reckon the extra tension from the new serpentine belt probably resulted in it giving up the ghost.

You are awesome. :) I watched this and the serpentine belt video, got the tools and parts, and did it. :) I'd agree with others about how it'd be good if the pully process was in there - the parts I saw online all came without the pulley, so I had to switch that. Easy enough, but if there's an easy way to get it loose without a bench vise, I've be interested in learning it. Not that I'll probably have to change the power steering pump again any time soon, but still. :) Thank you! Giving you a like and subscribe for next time I have to fix something. :)

Wow, you sir, are gentleman and scholar. You're helping a lot of people by taking the time and effort to create these videos. Thank you. Two questions, is there anyway to get around bleeding the PS once the new pump has been installed? Also, should one fill the new pump with PS fluid before installing?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

+Matt Warren I think the new p/s should be filled with fluids in them when you buy it brand new. Just do a flush and it should be fine.

[@rookietoprobuildz]

Thank you so much !

[@MarioGarcia-hw4lm]

Thanks good info. What if the pump just needs an o-ring ?

[@dumdumbrown4225]

Niiiiiice! …is it the same mechanism for the 3.5 V6 Accord?

[@dQ2o3]

hey quick question, i know there is a o ring connected with high pressure hose for 4 cyl, but is there another o ring connected with low pressure hose that is bolted on to the pump, ive seen couple of v6 hondas and they are replacing the o ring connected with the low pressure hose not high pressure, let me know thanks

[@NutzAboutBolts]

I don't think the lower hose has any o-ring because they use the clamp method. I could be wrong, but you should check. The inline 4 cylinder doesn't have any o-ring issues, only the V6 that I've read.

I thought you were replacing the pump for a new one and thus I was a little puzzled when you said that the pump still had fluid in it when you put it back on. Was this for demonstration purposes only and saw you were installing the same pump that you just took out a minute ago? Very clear and didactic video, many thanks.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Yes this was for demonstration. Usually oem pump comes sealed with fluids already inside the pump. If the pump isn’t primed, you will need to prime the pump so it doesn’t run dry.

[@JavierBonillaC]

@@NutzAboutBolts Your answer is super useful, thank you so much.

[@bmlaforge]

Should I flush the system before, or after installing the new pump? My mothers car is the 2004 honda accord 2.4L as well, and some mechanic put a new power steering pump in, and she said it felt great, but then she said after a few weeks the steering was next to impossible, and that the fluid wasn't in the reservoir. Could it be that he didn't flush out all the oldness out first before installing the new one, or do you think it's a rack and pinion steering rack? the car has 195k miles but it drives soo smoothly.

You really didn't need hose crimpers on the low pressure, or to remove the high pressure mounting bracket, also you could have just removed the one 10mm from the low pressure instead of messing with the hose clamp. Otherwise good tutorial man thanks !

How do you remove the power steering pressure line

[@sagarswan2011]

I have Accord 2006 4 cylinder. It seems like there is fluid dried up around the power steering pump. It seems like it most likely is/was leaking from the high pressure o ring. Fluid level seems to be right on the "low" line. Do I need to pinch the high pressure hose? Do I need to remove the belt? Thanks

[@NutzAboutBolts]

I would clean up that area, then refill it with ps fluid, and check to see if that area is actively leaking or seeping through. If it is. I would check where its coming from. I've read that the V6 engine has a bad high pressure o-ring that you need to replace. I haven't heard of the 4 cylinder engine having that issue. The only issue I had on my vehicle was a crack underneath the ps reservoir, which was leaking all over the the side onto the body.

[@betonthis1]

wish you guys made one on that upper hose replacement. mine is leaking and there is a special bulletin and recall on the V6 version on leaking hoses but mine is not a V6 so I have to replace it, its leaking bad but it runs from the top of the engine to the bottom.

[@MS-zw3xe]

NutzAboutBolts can you tell me please, I recently replaced my power steering pump which I purchased from eBay for my Honda Accord 2008 VTI - my mechanic also flushed the oil with genuine Honda oil... Now when I drive the steering randomly goes very stiff and hard to turn especially on high rev say when driving up the hill. The O rings are new also. And as usual the seller is blaming the mechanic wrong installation and the mechanic says it's a faulty pump. From what I see the installation looks perfect and no leaks at all. What are your thoughts?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Is the ps pump working properly? Have you tried doing our flush method to see if the pumps pushing fluids out? If the pump isn’t running properly, it can cause the steering to go stiff since there’s no fluids going through the rack and pinion, as if the accessory belt isn’t running.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

David Humphrey no, its hard to tell if its coming from the reservoir. What I did when my reservoir broke from the bottom was that I cleaned the area up with brake clean and let it dry, then the next day I monitor it and see if its still leaking. Once I saw the leak, I check where it was coming from. I noticed that the reservoir was wet from the bottom, it wasn't obvious dripping, so I replaced it and it stopped leaking ever since.If there's a place that was leaking, you will notice it once its dry and clean. Just go with that.

hello there, requesting some help, i recently worked on an 2005 Acura TSX 2.4 engine, the engine is exactly the same one as shown in this video. I replaced the power steering pump because it was making too much noise, after doing the job the new pump still makes as much noise as the old one. i replaced the pump, rings checked for leaks and did not find any leaks.

The reservoir over flooded and there was a lot of foam and bubbles. any suggestions?? please

[@kaptainsparrow8056]

Probably too late but you need to do a complete flushing of the system to get rid of the bubbles. Might need another person sitting at the wheel and turning it with engine running and you adding the fluid to flush out the old one. Lots of KZbin video showing you how to flush the ps system.

you can either use a pulley holder tool or stick a screw driver in the open slot of the pulley and wedge it somewhere on the vehicle to remove the bolt. Some people remove the pump and use a vice and a torque wrench while holding the pulley still.

Hi I have an 04 Honda Accord making a weird noise when I turn the steering wheel to the sides only, already check where the noise is coming from and it's the power steering pump making it do you think PS pump is bad already or is it something else that's gone bad thank you in advance and you got some good @$$ videos man

[@NutzAboutBolts]

+Carlos Rios I would check if there's any leaks, any air bubbles or dirty fluids. You can try doing a power steering flush and see if the noise goes away or not. Check the belts if its a whinny noise. A bad belt can cause noise as well, I would also check if the p/s pump looks worn or leaking out from there. Most likely it's either the belt or the p/s pump itself. Lack of p/s fluid can also cause noise if steering left or right.
