2005-2011 Civic Power Steering Pump Replacement

[@doetbood5967]

so i have never done this stuff before but am mechanically inclined out of sheer necessity of saving 900.00 i am glad you did this vid!

[@TipsyTraveler]

For anyone watching this in the future: Removing the pulley off the power steering pump will be a royal PITA without an impact wrench. However, you cant fit an impact wrench in the small space given. This guys pulley was really loose, but odds are you wont be. I found a video that makes this much easier here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmnKhKF5idGae68

[@renceri]

do i need to buy an impact wrench to remove the pulley off the power steering pump?

[@TipsyTraveler]

@@renceri I read a number of things online on how to do it without one, but none of them worked. You could always buy the wrench ($50) and then return it after?

[@markread7333]

Curious as to why you refilled the reservoir again after flushing it, when you knew you were going to be pulling the pump...??

[@raiderrichard7291]

Live and learn. We’re all just DIYers. We’re not certified mechanics! Hahha

[@johnjoseph7382]

all you gotta do is a mity vac or any vacuum pump to suck out all the old fluid, whether it's ps fluid, brake fluid, doesn't really matter

[@IY5]

i think you just had to use a little power steering oil to flush out the lines from contaminants as the pump should be fine if its new.

Cliff I am finally tackling this repair, yes I know 8 months later. lol . Quick question I am having the leaking issue and was wondering, was it the o-rings or the pump in your case that was causing the leak?? I am 4 bottles and several o-rings in. Thanks for the help.

[@CliffsHowTo]

If I remember correctly, I took the pump back up and swapped it out for another.

[@DJDavidValentino1]

@@CliffsHowTo I am having to do the same. Looks like it's leaking somewhere behind the pulley. So angry right now.

[@LEGEND-kb1id]

The torque on engine mounts are 47 LBft

[@raiderrichard7291]

I’m thinking about buying a psp. Or maybe I should just rebuild the old one. I’m not sure.

[@DJDavidValentino1]

Hey Cliff, was the whining noise present immediately upon start up or later on after 15-20 minutes of normal driving? I have 2009 and I am thinking it might be the power steering pump too.

[@CliffsHowTo]

It could whine worse, as the temperature under the hood increases.

[@DJDavidValentino1]

@@CliffsHowTo Thank you for the reply. I'm ordering the new pump today. The noise is ridiculously annoying.

[@shakibm1558]

So just for the power steering pump, will I have to drop the engine?

[@red2g]

I think he means lower it a little bit by loosening a motor mount.

[@kryptik0]

For anyone reading this, there is absolutely no need to mess with the motor mount. Remove the bottom bolt first, then rotate the pump out of the way from engine bay which will make it easier to get to the upper bolt.

[@coolantkid3428]

Nice video. What brand of pump did you use? Did you change brands when you switched due to the leak issues? Looks like the last pump (painted black) was different from the one earlier in the video.

[@CliffsHowTo]

I don’t remember the brand, but it was the one from autozone, with the lifetime warranty.

[@coolantkid3428]

@@CliffsHowTo Thanks for the reply. Did the one shown in the last part of the vehicle work out? Is it still doing okay today, or did the leak or other issues resurface?

[@CliffsHowTo]

My niece still owns the car, and I’ve not heard of any issues with the power steering pump.

[@coolantkid3428]

@@CliffsHowTo Cool, thanks Cliff.

[@eddielopez3172]

What’s the size of the nut for the power steering pump I need to find one mine came off hope u reply

[@CliffsHowTo]

I have no idea... sorry.

[@bladirosario]

How much would it cost for a 2007 Civic Coupe? And how much is just labor?

[@CliffsHowTo]

If you take it to a mechanic, they would probably hit you with at least $500 to do this.

[@CliffsHowTo]

I don’t really know a good estimate though. I haven’t taken my cars to a shop in decades. With the exception of getting tires and alignment.

[@secretstash4557]

well they quoted me 1100 today between that and my compressor I'm at the value of the car

[@luisdiaz1228]

@@secretstash4557just gamble and get aftermarket parts.

[@fredericjaimes6899]

holly sh...... i ven doing this exact job today... i manage to remove the pump of the engine but that thing doesnt come out because of the space it´s to tight, if i would have seen this video before i would removed the polley first daaaaammmmm

[@hghfyyghhyggihff6566]

That o-ring is a pain in the ass... how is your o-ring holding up. I’ve gone through three so far from the dealer..I replace a new power steering pump and i can still see leaks leaking out the edge , the one your showing at the end of this video .

[@CliffsHowTo]

I sold the car about 8 months ago, but up to that point it was fine.

[@salvadorlucero1575]

Doing the twist as your inserting it helped ?

[@guillaumecaron5362]

Hope you’re gonna answer because I’m in the middle of the job XD. how do you take out the pump of the engine bay once it’s unmounted ? You don’t cover that part in your tutorial. Seems like there’s is not enough place to wiggle it through the opening I have.

[@CliffsHowTo]

I don’t remember how I got it out, but I don’t remember it being an issue.

[@robinkim7711]

How’s your power steering pump so far? Does it leak or make any noise? I’m just being curious about durability of reman power steering pump. Thanks for your video !

[@CliffsHowTo]

It hasn’t been a problem since I changed it

[@CliffsHowTo]

Also I think from Advance Auto Parts it has a lifetime warranty so if it does give me any trouble I can just swap it

[@freakgsi84]

Great vid Cliff, going to replace it myself too, was wondering how dud your power steering go out? Mine was working great but hade a leak on the high pressure line, replaced it with aftermarket, worked great fir a few weeks, and one day on the parking lot while turning left to full right just got hard, cleaned the reservoir n changed fluid to Honda fluid , it was black n had little metal glitter, but still hard steeting, so letting me believe it's the pump, what do u guys think?

[@CliffsHowTo]

Sounds like it.

[@screeenslaaayer8422]

Is the thread for the pulley right or left ? thanks !!

[@danielblocker8008]

Awesome video!!!

[@leonardlafrance2869]

try to do the video daylight, everything is dark, but good 👍 video

[@shawtydat]

is the torque on the pulley nut 47ftlb?

[@CliffsHowTo]

+shawtydat I have no clue...

[@reytorres9221]

Hi, I purchased the Genuine 2006 Honda Civic coupe powersteering pump (waiting for delivery as of today). I assume that all the o-rings are in the PS pump. Is that correct? since I am still waiting for my parts.

[@CliffsHowTo]

Rey Torres I bought mine at Autozone, and it came with the correct o-ring

[@BaveMage]

Don't count on it. Less than $3.00 for both seals at the local Honda dealership!
