mrsemifixit, exactly right! I hate it when I look for a repair video and not even half of the instructions are given and the video is only 5 minutes long FOR A HEAD GASKET! Eric realizes not everyone is a mechanic who watches his videos, so he goes that extra mile.

mrsemifixit, I think a lot of auto repair content creators on KZbin forget that KZbin is MAINLY for the DIYers who are looking to avoid high priced repair shops, and even though Eric is a master technician, he breaks the instructions down so we can follow, and Eric, if you see this, "WE CAN DIG IT"!

I could not have done this without this video. Tried other videos, not as complete. Did it in my driveway, took about 16 hours on a 2008 (in 2023), so 15 years of rusty bolts that needed every trick in the book to remove. Getting all the bolts off was 14 hours of that. If you undertake this at home, prepare to use every trick to break the bolts free, including a trusty torch and lots of penetrating lube. Sometimes the tool combinations required to reach the bots was a total Rube Goldberg, as I didn't have the range of tools Eric has.

This video really saved me from spending $1,400.00!! I just have one caveat though. This is not as easy as it looks. Though I saved $1400.00, there were many challenges along the way. I had the same problem with the s.b. link. High side pressure line was a pain to get off and on. Back motor mounts did not align. Took me and a friend two days. I've seen some people get it done in 5 hrs. Good for them. But... if your like me, a person that does minor fixes eg. Altinators, brakes, fuel pumps etc... then do yourself a huge favor and think this through before making that commitment. Nothing was easy about this. There were several times I wished I just payed for this job to be done. With that being said, this job is over and I'm happy it's fixed.

I bought an 09 EX-L that was in a small collision for a (not amazing) fair price. I'll be replacing the Lower Control Arms and ball joints, CV Axles, outer tie rods, front wheel hubs and bearings, the timing belt, all the engine and transmission mounts but the steering rack seems the most daunting! I do not have a lift, a few Jack's and 4 Jack stands. Wish me luck, I feel your pain with rusty bolts! I should get a torch 😢

@@johnreed2272 good luck with all that. Patience with that steering rack is needed when you change it out. Halfway through I was seriously regretting on changing it myself. Honda must have really thought about this and made it darn near impossible to work on it. When it comes to turning wrenches, I’m not shy at all but this was the worst I’ve ever had.

Great video. One thing I would suggest is to make sure the new power steering rack comes centered/aligned. Speaking from experience. I installed a new power steering rack on my car without checking if it was centered and of course it wasn't (even though the site said it was). So I had to take it out, center it and reinstall it. It sucked to say the least. Live and you learn i guess. 😅

Thank you for that feedback. However, my point of view is that I still put just as much effort, if not more, into the Fairmont videos. They still contain a ton of useful information, repair and otherwise, along with the challenges I face when doing a job, just like this video. It's just that the Fairmont seems to be a vehicle that few people have an interest in. The irony for me is that I'd wager you don't even own an Odyssey that needs a power steering rack, yet you watched and enjoyed this video. I just wish more people would see the #FairmontProject videos with the same eyes. Thanks again.

This one also helps me to understand just how much my mechanic EARNS every penny when doing something like this. Good on you for attempting to show us how it's done correctly.

I've had good luck by using handtools on a stabilizer link by using handtools I first used penetrating oil then i used a wire brush to brush off the bulk of the rust, then I put an allen wrench in the end and used a wrench just like you did with the closed end and got it loose by loosening it a little bit and then tightening it again and keep doing that until it came off took me about 5 to 8 mins per nut and it never stripped. I'm not saying your wrong at all I mean whatever works best for you is the way to go offcourse, I'm well aware of the problems that you run into working on rusty cars especially japanese ones. Great video though!

while counting the threads or the turns is fine when changing a tie rod, something I have noticed over the years, not every replacement is the same length overall or even have the threads in the same location. what I usually do is use a tape measure and measure from the backside of the inner on the flat where the threads start all the way out to the center of the outer where a grease fitting would normally be and I'm usually only about a 1/16 of an inch out when the time comes to align it. obviously not every time is the same, so whatever works works, just mentioning about differences in brands of inners and outers.

If you're talking about a pickle fork, I don't use those because I find they damage the dust boots. At least for me.

Awesome video. But it gave me flashbacks from my harsh initiation into car repair, having to replace the head on my 2007 Cobalt after I destroyed it and one piston by careless replacement of the timing chain tensioner. Not my day job!

Undoing the flarenut on the high pressure line on my 300zx PS rack was a colossal PITA. They do those nuts up stupid tight. Ended up rounding off the nut with a flarenut wrench, ended up using vicegrips to crack it loose.

That's happened to me before as well. Hence the reason I removed the line as an assembly to break it loose on the bench. It made things harder, but it avoided rounding the nut. Thanks for the comment.

Hey Eric if you turn the wheel with the key in the on position then you force fluid through the system without the pump making more bubbles when turning the wheel lock to lock. this also helps save the ps pump too, something I've learned in my short time so far in the trade

Would love to see some videos on your wife's 2012 Odyssey. I've got a 2012 pilot that's going to be ready for a timing belt in the next 10k miles or so. Seems to be some differences in that generation v6 from the prior ones when I looked at the procedure. No one seems to have a video on it yet though. Love the video, old, new, Oliver, and beyond. Thanks again for the pod light!

You can get adjustable screw type jackstands on amazon. look in the rv section for trailer support stands. 4 pack. there designed for travel trailers but work basically the same as your big stand. they look like a pyramid with a big bolt on the top.

I don't think your supposed to undo the bolt with the allen key your supposed to hold the bolt with the key and stop it turning while you loosen the nut with the spanner .

In my experience there are a hundred different ways to do something when it comes to auto repair. My philosophy is that if it works, it works. What I did worked just fine. Thanks for your comment.

You guys or gals must have never worked on a rust belt car, or only worked on cars that are one at most two years old. I love it when Arizona/California/etc sunny state guys comment on how easy they disassembled that nut or bolt that someone from North cautions or tells how difficult it was to get it off. Those sway bar links are notorious if they have seen salt during winter. Eric was being kind in his reply here :)

Salty roads here in the winter. Sway bar links are cheap, time is money, I removed mine with an angle grinder, much quicker and much more satisfying.
