Danny that was the easiest and best way I've seen to change the power steering fluid. You ought to patten this, this makes life a lot easier. Thank you so much for all of your videos. I could never have changed the a/c expansion valve if it wasn't for your video on how to do it, a lot of work but you explained and showed me how to do it, and with great success I did it and now I have 40 degree air coming out of my vents. God Bless.

Beautiful video and very helpful. The PS fluid in my daughter's 2009 Civic was filthy and a garage recommended a flush which would have cost Lord knows how much. I bought a 3-pack of fluid on Amazon, the tubing and fittings that you recommended, drilled a couple of holes in the lid of an empty vinegar bottle to catch the fluid (my rig was not near as well made as yours but it got the job done), and followed your steps from there. It was a quick and easy process, and it was very fulfilling to see all that dirty fluid come out and see the clean stuff in the reservoir. Thanks to videos like yours I'm able to keep the Honda running like a champ while saving a ton of $$. Keep up the good work!

Cool method but it’s probably easier to just suck the old fluid out, refill, turn car on and turn steering wheel a few times, turn car off, suck fluid out and repeat a few times. Your method is definitely better for a true coolant flush though very thorough. Thanks for sharing

My 2005 Civic has 194,000 miles and the fluid may be original. The steering was a little hard so for three bottles of fluid and 40 minutes of labor, I changed the fluid. The steering is definitely lighter so this was overdue. I used aviation grade alum tubing which snugly fit into the return line. Position the hose clamp and the old stuff came out easily. Instead of buying a pump, an old squirt bottle of Dial soap😁 evacuated the system. Thx Danny.

Excellent video. I wish I knew it was this easy several years ago. Just flush a 2007 Accord that had very dark fluid due to minimal changes. It needed 5.5 bottles of Honda Power Steering Fluid ( they each hold 12fl oz) to get it to a pale brown color. That was good enough for me. Reminder Hondas are very sensitive to particular fluids, therefore only use Power Steering Fluid by Honda!

@9:33 next step missing ... it should go into how you disconnect the kinked hose from the reservoir and reconnect the return line to it before you top off the reservoir, which you did but it wasn't shown. Other than that, it was a great video! Awesome angles and that camera mount is nice and steady. It felt like I was looking over your shoulder with those over head shots! OMG, I just knew that bottle was gonna do a 'Spindle Top' oil geyser, but it stopped just in time! I'll set mine in a 'overflow' pan though, I know me.

I'm not quite sure but I think only 500ml or less was used to top up after it was repaired. Do you think its still not enough? Or there's still a leak or some air that needs to be bled out?

Troy, I appreciate you watching my videos, as far as the "Power Steering Flush Machine" the container I used was a Mayonnaise jar, as you could see it's a little lacking on the amount of fluid it can handle, I would double that, however for the brake fluid the Mayonnaise jar size is good.

Damn i need to do this so badly!! Only problem is i dont really have the time or money to get all of those fancy tubes and stuff. Is there a simpler way to drain it then this?? Id appreciate if you let me know. This way is very smart and actually is a really good video. But to me this just seems so difficult. You made it look easy, but to me this looks like its just gonna be a nightmare if i try it myself

If you have 150k miles on a 2010 civic and the return hose has never been removed. Do you need to be careful - maybe rub some power steering fluid on the hose before removing the hose clamp and removing the hose from power steering fluid reservoir? Or would it be ok to remove the clamp and hose without conditioning it first?

I have a 2014 civic si bone stock and I just noticed a power steering humming sound on a slow uturn. It doesn’t make the noise when I’m stopped and turning the steering wheel. Car has 86k miles. Do you think a flush might fix the issue? Seems too early for a pump to be going out.

Thank you for this very informative video. You took yhe time to explain everything in a concise manner that a DIYer would understand. I would like your opinion about water pumps. I have a 2008 Civic and it's almost 200K miles and the water pump is original. There are no leaks and I have been changing the coolant on a regular annual basis. In your opinion, should I change the water pump now or wait until it starts showing leaks. I have been quoted $700+ to replace and I heard that Civic's water pump is very difficult to DIY. I appreciate your input. Thank you.

In my opinion, aftermarkets from a well-known brand are fine. For Honda Civic 2007 LX, Denso 234-4350 is the perfect one. It’s cheaper than OEM a lot but pretty much same quality without Honda Logo.
