Great! Thanks for the comment!

[@vinny7173]

Excellent video, thank you! For a 2006 EXL, you need a 19mm socket and a 25” breaker bar to adjust the pulley tension bolt, to get the belt off. Everything else was spot on. This project was easier then I expected, especially from the insight of this video.

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Thanks! 👍👍

[@RobertDickens2002]

Yes the EX-L is vcm with a different tensioner setup that lx and ex.

[@bjones1042]

​@@RobertDickens2002how do you know if you have an EXL? I have a 2010 also with the same issue and I'm not certain if it's an EXL model.

[@FixEverythingYourself]

I believe the EX-L is the only model with leather seats. So if you don't have leather seats, you don't have an EX-L. I think...

[@bjones1042]

@@FixEverythingYourself Thanks. I checked and you're correct. I definitely have the EX-L trim.

[@augiemyboy2453]

This is just so tremendous. Just changed out my "leaked out" steering pump following your awesome detailed video. Mega thanks and so totally fun to have fixed it myself!!!

[@FixEverythingYourself]

That's great. Nice work doing it yourself. Thanks for the comment!

[@BizyBeee]

Thanks for this tutorial! Very simple fix. The zip tie idea definitely helped! Another tip for anyone trying this out, use a cable tie, to tie down the belt onto the latch above the dip stick seen at 1:36 (or anywhere else where it wont interfere the removal process). If you let the belt hang loose, the belt will very likely slip away from lower pulleys, and it is very time consuming following the diagram, and looping all the pulleys around. (ask me how i know!)

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Thanks, Brian. Good tip for keeping the belt in position.

[@SeanEnginetechnology]

Yeah, too bad I was changing the belt anyway this time, after changing out the tensioner with the tensioner and idler pulleys.. But good tip for those who haven't done this before - though if i can get the belt on without pulling the front wheel like is needed to change the tensioner I'll be a happy camper 🎉

[@someguysomewheresouthern6290]

Great vid! I’d previously replaced the reservoir and o-rings on my 2010 EXL. Pump had similar symptoms to yours, especially noisy when first started in the morning... new pump, now nice and quiet. Can’t complain much in my case, the original lasted 220,000 miles. Thanks again!

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Thanks, SSS! Yes, the reservoir is often the cause of a noisy steering system. Thanks for your feedback!

[@wendybrimhall9806]

Man, thank you SO much!!! Just replaced mine for $65. DEFINITELY recommend some sort of breaker bar. We used the hollow handle of a hydraulic jack to get the leverage necessary to move the nut on the tensioner pulley. So appreciate you including socket sizes. You made this an easy fix. Thanks for posting this video!!

I went to mechanic, they charged m $300 for the leak. I was told to change power steering pump for a second visit for $1200. These people could told me first hand to change power steering yet they tried to make me a second visit. That won't happen as I came accross your fantastic video. Thank you

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Awesome. Glad to hear it. Save yourself some money 👍

[@repentherry257]

Thank you for sharing. By following your steps on P/S pump replacement helped me save 600-800 from the dealer. I had to change power steering pump on my 06 honda odyssey. It was whining or grinding while driving, or turn left to right the sound gets even louder. So I checked where the sound came from by placing a long screw driver on the pump location to listen and found out its the pump. I first change the two o rings but sound still appears to be there. So I do some research and found your video, first one to appear and had to believe that this might be my problem. After changing the pump to new one the problem fixed. I only had to spend 154 on fluid and the pump. Once, again thank you very much and have a blessed Sunday.

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Thank you for the kind feedback. I'm very glad this helped you do it yourself!

[@dadofmanykids]

What a Godsend this video was! I appreciate your effort in making it. The only thing that took the longest was getting the stupid belt back on, lol! It saved me over $600, and as a dad of nine kids, I need all the savings I can get.

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Nine kids?! That's great! Glad this helped you save some money for groceries!

[@cmazz_318]

this was exactly what I was looking for. We have had ours since new. The van doesn't owe us a dime. I figured if it was a simple fix I would treat her. Looks like she will be cruising for a few more yrs now. Fun fact this same van fits a john deere riding mower perfectly with the seats removed. This van is seriously better then a truck.

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Glad to hear it! And yes, we've gotten a lot of use out of ours by folding down the seats and hauling some big stuff!

[@robweber1734]

Excellent instructional video. Easy to follow, great to have wrench sizing, took less than an hour. Was able to use variety of wrenches to not move the air conditioning line, I do not want to touch as I know next repair on that is $$$. Thanks again.

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Wow, less than an hour. That's really good. Glad the video helped. Thanks.

[@reelinspirations]

Great video. I was able to do this myself and save $400. My only comment would be that if you attempt to put your socket on the nut/bold of the pulley, it doesn't work. My bolt loosened when I tried it. However, there is a 'nut' that is attached to the tension bracket and that is what you attach your socket to. It is under the pulley with the nut/bolt. Once I found that, it worked great and your instructions made it really easy. Thanks!

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Thanks, Jim. Congratulations on saving yourself money. Is the nut you're referring to something different than what I showed or just something you're clarifying?

[@reelinspirations]

@@FixEverythingYourself In your video, it appeared the 'release nut' was actually on the pulley and not just a 'dummy' nut that is attached to the tension mechanism. So when I tried to release the tension with that nut, it actually loosened the pulley.

[@reelinspirations]

I had to watch a couple other videos on the tension system to figure that out. Once I figured it out, it was a piece of cake and your video was VERY helpful and easy to follow.

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Glad you got it figured out. Thanks for the feedback!

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Thanks!

[@fotopdo]

great video. I am getting ready to do this job, and I am going to do a few additional things based on vids: several sources have suggested only using Honda fluid, and flushing the system completely. Also I got a new Honda reservoir, because there is a filter in the bottom, and the part is cheap even from Honda. The best way to flush is connect a tube to upper hose that pushes fluid into reservoir, and let it dump into a bucket. Then fill res with new fluid and run car quickly to push some past pump, then change. Alternatively you could do the same but don't connect res to pump and just let it push out. You'll use less fluid, but It will take longer to purge. Either way, old fluid is bad for new pump. Another great tip I found, when removing reservoir hoses, just pull it out mounting bracket and tip back, then you won't spill so much.

[@FixEverythingYourself]

[@bernhardracher2510]

I watched your video first which gave me the courage to do this. You just saved me $600! Thank you.👍👍👍 Borrowed a special tensioner pulley wrench (long and thin) from Autozone for free. Looping the belt back on was somewhat the toughest thing. Never had to go in from the bottom of the car. I actually put the pulley wrench on the tensioner pulley wheel nut instead of the separate detensioner nut the car supposedly has for detensioning. Couldn't find that nut. Took me 2 hours all together. Good video, thank you again.

[@FixEverythingYourself]

That's great, Bernhard. And getting it done in two hours is excellent. Glad you saved yourself some money, and thanks for the great comment!

[@mrrickcrushing]

First search result came to you, this is my first PS pump on my 2005 but not my first rodeo, you did exactly as I envisioned, nice job. I hadn't thought about bleeding it, not sure if you did it with the cap on or off but will figure it out, thanks again :).

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Thanks for the feedback. I can't remember if I had the cap on or off when I bled it. I think I left it off so a helper could watch the air/foam disappear as I turned the wheels. Only took a minute to bleed it and I'm sure you'll figure it out. Good luck!

[@mrrickcrushing]

@@FixEverythingYourself Thanks for the response! I am selling the van so wanted to fix a couple of seeps, one of which is around the PW pump but need to wait a little to see where the fluid originates, a gasket or possibly the HP hose. I have your pump and a Gates hose in the cart on rockauto so we shall see! :)

[@benlucarelli]

I’ve heard you should bleed with the front up on stands and the engine off so you don’t have metal on metal at the pump. I like the way you do it better but wondering what the concern was about not running the motor.

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Hmmm, I'm not sure. But the pump pretty much bleeds itself after the wheels are turned a couple of times and I've had no problems with mine since I installed it.

[@an80sguy_]

Also wanna say great video and thank you. My wife will be happy after I replace the pump, been hell trying to park. Also, shop that changed out the previous one wanted to charge 2k to change rack and pinion when I could clearly see it wasn’t leaking. They just didn’t wanna warranty the pump and pay their mechanics more labor it seems

[@splicezone]

Nice info here and you save alot $$$ by doing the labor your self vs the dealer.... I will add a few thing that were not mention here is the importance to use correct, HONDA Power steering fluid - it is a must or your will find your self replacing that pump again. I would also recommend a few steps further: - Flushing out your system before you start this type of job, you can accomplish two things at once by doing so (1) Get all the contaminated fluid out (2) Reduce the chance of spilling fluid all over your engine bay. (3) Replacing the reservoir, depending how bad your system is, some pump mfg warranties require you to did this. This steps will help extend the life of your new pump else. I hope you find this information helpful.

Thanks. Looks totally doable. I'm going to flush/change the fluid since I'm that far into it. It's nice (for once) that it is not burred under a bunch of stuff, like the rear valve cover gasket. (that sucked)

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Yes, it's a lot easier than I originally anticipated. One person left a comment about tying the belt (with zip ties?) to something to prevent it from coming off the other pulleys and avoiding having to route it again. That's a good idea but not a big deal if you don't. Good luck!

[@BENJAMIN-zi4gv]

@@FixEverythingYourself I just watched another video about changing the o rings on the pressure hoses before changing the pump. If you notice frothing of the fluid. It (COULD) be those o rings. It fixed his 06 ODY

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Yes, there are a number of possible causes of pump noise. Another possibility is a known problem with cracking of the power steering fluid reservoir near the bottom. About 6 months after I replaced my pump I had a tiny hole in the pressure line that was allowing air into the fluid, creating a similar whining noise. I hope yours ends up being an easy fix!

I wasn’t very confident about doing my power steering pump. 2009 odyssey. Watched your vid and then checked under the cover you have to remove. Doesn’t look too hard. Gonna get the pump this week and let you know how it turns out. I might put anti-seize to the bolts, and while at it, might as well change the belt. Doesn’t look bad but if I am in there, why not.

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Yep, it really isn't that hard. It takes some work, as you see, but easily doable. Not a bad idea to change that belt, too, while you're in there. Good luck!

[@davidbreiner2682]

Thanks. Very helpful. The only thing that I did differently was to put some blue threadlock on the pulley threads, put on a new Honda pulley nut, and used Honda PS fluid. Also installed a new high pressure hose which was leaking.

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Sounds like a successful project!

[@deerhunter8533]

Before removing the belt break loose the pulley bolt and the belt will hold the pulley in place without having to wedge and station on the pulley. This is easier and avoids damage to the pulley, same thing when installing

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Good tip!

[@mikehatz3942]

Just wondering. Rather than sticking a tool into the pulley and wedging it against the structure of the car, would it be easier to break torque on the pulley nut with the belt still routed over the pulley?

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Definitely worth a try. I remember it taking a lot of torque to break free, so not sure if the belt resistance will be sufficient.

[@mikehatz3942]

@@FixEverythingYourself yeah, I considered that as a possible factor. I'm getting ready to do this job myself, so I was looking for possible shortcuts. Thanks for the reply!

[@brinkmerjer]

Thank you for the video! It was extremely helpful. I do have a question about reinstalling the flywheel on the shaft of the pump. When I spin the nut on and try to tighten it with the flywheel "jammed", the nut and the shaft turn together. I can't get any sort of torque on the nut. Any ideas? Thank you.

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Hmmm. Are you sure that the pulley is sliding correctly over the teeth on the shaft? Those teeth will be what turns the shaft when the pulley is turned but are also what will keep the shaft from spinning when the pulley is jammed still. The only thing I can think of is that your pulley is either not installed over the spline or it has a different way of attaching to the shaft than mine did.

[@brinkmerjer]

@@FixEverythingYourself Thanks for the reply! I'll take a look. When I tried to take the pulley off of the old pump's shaft, I ran into the same thing. The nut would only turn so far and then spin with shaft. To get the nut off, I ended up taking the 4 screws off the main pump housing, holding the other end of the shaft with vice grips, and unscrewing the nut with the 19mm socket. Yeah... Oh, this is on a 2005 Honda Odyssey.

Great video. When you first started it, after replacing the pump, is that loud sound because there is air in the line? I replaced just the o-rings in mine and now I have that sound. I thought I was going to have to replace the whole pump, but now I'm thinking it's just air in the system. How long did it take to bleed out moving the wheels side to side?

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Yes, it's air in the system that's causing the noise. Took less than a minute to bleed it by turning the wheels back and forth.

[@griffinb2008]

Awesome video, really easy to follow! I got my pump changed without any problems. After I loosened the belt, I zip tied it to another component in hopes that it would stay in place. Unfortunately it ended up coming off at the bottom, so now I'm stuck trying to get the belt back on which doesn't look straight-forward. Any tips and/or videos on getting that back on?

[@benlucarelli]

Look up the diagram. It’s easy if you have the wheel well shroud pulled back out of the way and do the bottom bit from under the car. The shroud is removed if you’re working on the timing belt but additional work if you’re doing the power steering pump.

Are you referring to the tensioner pulley bolt to loosen thr belt? Perhaps you have the wrong wrench or socket size? It's It's beefy part so I wouldn't expect it to be so stripped that the right wrench won't fit.

In some cases it may be the timming belt and tensioner you can't see it because it is behind the timming cover more expensive job. Every 100,000 miles don't want that belt to come off .mess up the engine. And keep a look out for the harmonic balancer that keeps the cam balanced. It could come off on the highway.

[@djroberts7608]

How long did this take you. And what tools did you use? Shops trying to charge my momma $500 to replace hers. She's on a fixed income.

[@FixEverythingYourself]

I don't recall exactly but I think it was 2-3 hours. If I'd already done it once (or seen this video), I'd say about 2 hours. $500 doesn't sound like a bad price but can be done a lot cheaper if done yourself.

[@FixEverythingYourself]

BTW, all the tools I used are in the video. The long breaker bar is probably the least common tool for most people, but you can get one at Walmart or Harbor Freight for $20 or less.

[@madisondrake3310]

Do you have a list of tools required for this job?

[@FixEverythingYourself]

No list, but I show or describe all of the tools I use during the video. The main tool that a novice may not have is the long breaker bar to move the tensioner pulley. Those aren't expensive, either. Everything else is a very common tool from what I recall.

[@mhmdak3242]

can you please explain how it feels while driving, when you have a bad pump???

[@FixEverythingYourself]

If you feel anything, it’s probably harder to turn the wheels than normal. More likely is you'll hear a whining or grinding sound from under the hood. And that noise will be more noticeable when turning the steering wheel, especially at low speeds like turning in a parking lot or driveway.

So you didn’t flush the system once you removed the hose? It doesn’t matter if you flush out all the fluid ?

I didn't flush it. All depends on what the problem is. Mine wasn't a burned up pump so I wasn't worried about debris in the fluid. If there had been, I would've flushed it.

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Looks like you replied but for some reason I can't see it all. You should be fine not flushing it. You probably lost a good bit of fluid taking everything apart so you'll be adding a lot of fresh fluid.

@@FixEverythingYourself strange...‘I was saying after I finished the job the power steering pump pulley wobbles slightly. Any suggestions? Bad alignment?

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Hmmm, you don't want the wobble. It may not be seated fully (pushed all the way in) before tightening it down? Other possibility is maybe the pump itself didn't get positioned flush when you put that on. Or one of those bolts didn't get tightened all the way down? I'd start there.

Once again, I can't read your full comment about the reservoir. Don't know why. But no, I haven't replaced mine although I know there's a Honda service bulletin out there on the reservoir. The service bulletin addresses a crack at the base of it, I think, that allows air to get in the fluid and causes noisy pump operation.
