[@tomctutor]

Just a quick mechanics trick; when loosening tight bolts, especially rusted 10mm or greater. Tighten just a wee bit it first, then loosen. I find this makes it easier sometimes.

[@Robsav-yx6vi]

I do that naturally until l say the magic words “ Righty Tighty Lefty Losey”

[@CitarNosis317]

The Car Wizard also said cleaning out bolts before attempting to take them out will almost always prevent stripping (while using the right head, of course). He seems like indeed a great wizard so I do trust his word. 👍

[@debo4life420]

@@CitarNosis317 how do you clean out a bolt before loosening it..?

[@debo4life420]

Wouldn't it be easier to use a razor knife to slice the oring to get it off..? It shouldn't score the metal any more than the point of that pick... especially if you just pushed it through instead of slicing...

[@boahneelassmal]

wiggling the bolt in general helps. Basically 2 steps forward one step backwards and you shouldn't really ever snap a bolt...

[@isaiahwelch8066]

I'm reminded of a quote from Fast & Furious 6, said by Owen Shaw: "God, it's amazing. The simplest things can cause the biggest problems. Good news is, if you swap out a bad part, everything runs smooth as silk again." That's what fixing a good car does for me. Good job on that repair! 👍

[@LA_VIDA_AUTO_DETAIL]

Great job on being honest ! Any other mechanic I know would of gave them the classic “I’ll give you a thousand”. Fix the issue and flip it for more . We need more people like you Ernest ! 🙏🏻

[@bryanfugate2272]

Ernest: Great Video as always. Don't you just love how tight the working space is on the cars now a days NOT...

[@tyfixes5630]

Exactly. Cause my steering pump is the passenger side under the tire. So I have to completely take the tire off and squeeze my arm through the engine area to get to the pump.

[@alexhier5051]

Tough shit.

[@rodneyconaway1600]

Ernest another great video👍 I was hydraulic mechanic for over 35 years. I would run into some really small O rings quad rings ect. Go on to Amazon and order some dental cleaning tools the tools are real small have points on them they're just easy to get in there behind the small o rings and pull them right off . Wouldn't have $20 in a set of them. Keep making videos a good content!

[@Oksobasically2]

Strongly recommend honda spec power steering fluid. Im super paranoid about fluid specs cause i had a pump eat itself on a friends car that i fixed cause he used the cheap stuff from the parts house.

[@cuongandmari]

Yes, should always use Honda PS fluid on Honda vehicles or you will come back in for leak soon.

[@davyarthurs]

Yeah don’t let Eric the Car Guy see you using anything but Honda stuff in a Honda 😜

[@oldskool1979]

[@thomaslindberg3899]

Ernest,people in your service area are very lucky to have a guy like you work on there cars the auto repair business is just full of not honest mechanics or mechanics that do not know what there doing keep up the good work.

[@HouseCallAutoRepair]

Ernest, turn the steering wheel lock to lock SEVERAL times (wheels off the ground makes this super easy) to purge air from the system BEFORE starting it. Much quieter, and quicker to top off.... Hope this helps ya! (Be careful though, as this will overflow some vehicles, so slow and cautious is the way to go)

[@johnaclark1]

I'm sure others have mentioned this already but ONLY Honda power steering fluid in Hondas. Also, that high pressure hose is very common to leak near the crimp. That one looks like it's leaking. The o-ring may have been leaking but when you see fluid all the way up the hose it's not coming from the o-ring. On the lower suction hose, you got it the same way I always get them out. Well done! Another common issue on those is the PS gets weak when the engine is hot, and idling. The steering will get real stiff. A fluid flush and cleaning the reservoir may help. If it doesn't, replace the pump.

[@supersam1914]

We need those red jumpsuits with roadside rescue on it 💪. I’d buy one

[@mozpogson3639]

When bleeding rack and pinion, jack up front so tyres are free. Now without engine on, turn lock to lock a few times checking fluid level. The rack works this way as a piston pump without air bubbles.

[@orlandorudesindo3983]

You doing great job there hardly no honest mechanic I’m a honest mechanic my self

Those seals are a common issue with Honda's. BTW You're never suppose to use standard power steering fluid in a Honda. Honda power steering fluid only.

[@RoadsideRescue]

yeah. you were the first person to ever tell me that! But not sure if it was leaking anywhere else and lack of fluid caused me to put generic in for now. Next service im going to flush it. :)

Another job well done. A tip on those honda pumps on the Jseries engine. The second connection you took off (the plastic one on the bottom of the pump) usually gets super brittle, so if you run into this again that may be cracked, not a bad gasket

[@RoadsideRescue]

Good to know! Thank you!

Just trying to help . These Honda power steering pumps only like Honda Fluid , or power steering fluid that says Honda compatible fluid . If other fluids are used they will whine and groan but will work . Also these Honda vans and accords are big problems with the high pressure hose , leaking where it has a factory crimp where it mounts on the back of the cylinder head .. they will leak under pressure at full lock

Another awesome video. Honda must have loosened up a bit with their pumps and rack and pinon. My 98 civic would whine and screech unless I put Honda brand power steering fluid in it. Even if I used Prestone for Toyota Honda. I see you just put some AutoZone brand in and it worked.

[@LilShay27]

Excellent video, as always. I believe Honda use ATF for power steering fluid. Will that damage the pump or steering wrack if using the clear power steering fluid?

Just a little tech tip....when you have o-rings that are hard and stuck in a groove spray them with some brake clean and it will soften and stretch the o-ring and you can pop it right off.

[@jostouw4366]

Try cling film under the reservoir lid to hold the fluid from draining.

[@micahharman1493]

What is your opinion on using the Honda type power steering fluid. I have never been a big fan of the universal power steering fluid on a Honda. Always come back with a noise.and I replace it with the Honda type fluid. And I notice a softer steering.

Harbor freight actually has the box end flex heads. And I think gear wrench makes them as well. I've never had a need for them. But can't you just pull that hose and plug it with a valve stem. And then go and use a swivel socket. Although I can't see what it looks like. Also if you ever run across a jeep Patriot nosie that sounds loud like a bearing but isn't one. It might be the tranny. Try changing the filters and fluid. There is two filters, one in the pan. And one in the sump up under the battery and tray. It looks like a cartridge filter and fairly small. A little car tip.
