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

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.

I didn’t trust myself to do the engine start part like you did so that was the only part I left out Just figure I’ll have to do it in a few more years since I didn’t get as much out as you But the reservoirs have super clear fluid after driving for a week since the job even even tho I didn’t start engine at all Thank you !

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.

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!

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!

Hi there Danny. Just had my PS pump / rack end pinion repaired due to a leak. 2 days later was surprised that the reservoir is empty. 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?

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!

SUPERB VIDEO!!! I’ve watched over a dozen videos on this procedure and yours is the best by far!! Very nice background music; not too overwhelming and loud. Just wondering if you know why most videos recommend only genuine Honda fluid and not to use the other brands that claim will work for Honda cars?

How many bottles did you wind up using? Thank you for the details and good camera angles. It amazes me how many videos there are out there to work on cars that skip steps or don't provide details.

2 bottles, yeah it’s really hard to think of every detail and get good angles that show what you’re doing and still get the job done in a reasonable amount of time, lots to learn, thanks for the compliment

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?

@@dannysdiygarage lol no problem. Well apparently some of these Hondas have an internal electrical power steering which doesn’t need fluid replacement. I need to investigate a little more about this. I saw this comment online in a forum.

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.

you can just turn the wheels, however, the fluid in the pump needs to get pumped out, which means at some point the pump pulley needs to turn, so either start the vehicle or remove the belt and turn the pump with your hand
