How to Replace the High Pressure Power Steering Hose on a 2006 Honda Odyssey

[@jj-sx5qe]

Just did this repair last night on a 2005 Odyssey. Took me about 2.5 hours, mostly because the flare nut is hard to access and work with and my pressure switch was stuck pretty firmly on the old hose. This video was a huge help, particularly by showing where the brackets are and suggestions for working with the flare nut. Thanks for posting!!

I just want to say good video. I did this yesterday on a 06 Honda odyssey touring. I couldn't find the individual 14 mm crows foot. So I bought a flare wrench which didn't help, the bolt was stuck on there good, I used degreaser but didn't help. So I just broke off the line by bending it back and forth and used a 14 mm socket with 3 inch extension and 3/8 drive to remove the bolt, I could have saved an hr. My hose had cracks all around were the metal fitting connects to the hose. Thanks again man.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Glad it all worked out. Thank you for watching!

[@RajunCajun1]

I wish you would have used PB Blaster! It would have save you some of that headache.

[@davidbreiner2682]

Thanks Brian. This really helped me. I actually ended up cutting the metal tube just before the flare nut with a small tubing cutter and removing the nut with a deep 14 MM socket. I couldn't get it off the way you did...but this helped me in putting the new flare nut on. I was also able to reuse the Sensor (new one is way overpriced). Thanks again.

[@tblakeman]

am aoubt to try the cutoff method myself.. seems would be easier for sure.. and i don't have a crows 14mm

[@jemalguillory]

Thanks! Didn’t know there was a second bracket until you showed me.

[@MansaMusa9229]

You are awesome! Thank you! They were asking for $500 to replace mine!

[@jaymerjaymer]

A lot better than some other vids I watched. A whole lot easier when its up on a rack and you do this from underneath.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Having a wreck makes a whole world of difference.

[@travisfinucane]

Thanks for the video. Key advice is the crowfoot on an extended ratchet to break loose the fitting at the rack. I used that, then a shorty 14mm crescent from above (my arms are long and skinny) to finish loosening, and most of the tightening on install. Other videos I saw have you removing the hoses and the air inlet above that fitting so you can reach a cheater bar down there. Also good advice I saw elsewhere is to remove the passenger side wheel to get more room to disconnect the pressure sensor.

[@josephcatalan3161]

Thank you for this video. You have the best camera angles amongst all the diy video for this project.

[@kbob8424]

Was going to make a video on the same model odyssey using the same part number. Now I don't have to, plus saves me the hassle of trying to figure it out myself, thanks!

[@HowtoAutomotive]

k bob glad the video helped out. Thank you for watching!

[@tedbaxter5234]

I not found a video for this repair on a 2005 Pilot...but I'm taking the information from this video and hoping for the best - thank you!

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Ted Baxter It’s pretty much the same vehicle under the hood. Good luck with the repair thanks for watching!

[@hgdge]

Thank man youree a real life saver and youre doing god's work.

Thank you!

[@philjuniorp]

Great illustration on the scale of 1^5 about a good 4

[@mohammadkamran5862]

Thank you for the video. It looks like it’s the same for my Honda Pilot. I will tackle the job soon when I get time to grab a hose from the junkyard.

[@newtec-kd6vy]

Was it?

[@ericbruch]

this part is not that expensive from rockauto... definitely would not recommend using a USED part as a replacement especially given the difficulty of the job

[@Mo-fc2vj]

Why on earth would you replace with a junkyard line,who know how it's been sitting in the sun the line is probably dry and cracked i got new one from ebay for 35 bucks shipped

[@RobertDickens2002]

Best video I've seen on this the others were real dark and saying just trust me it's down there somewhere

[@affordablemowingservicesll9094]

Thanks for taking the time and doing this helpful videos! 👌😊

[@calvinguan3256]

Nice video as always! I am about to do mine and worried about the end that's connected to the rack. I guess the trick is the 14mm Crowfoot wrench.

[@ericbruch]

nice video. going to be attempting to replace the same line on my 2007 Pilot. really wish I had a lift in my garage !

[@ericbruch]

Follow up. Hard as hell to access. Had to cut the line. Bend off the stub end. Tap a socket onto the lines nut to break the connection. Getting the new hose in proper alignment to get the threads started was probably the most time consuming part. Not fun doing in 90+ degree heat sweating and having fluid drip on you.

[@CassinoG]

FANTASTIC VIDEO!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@HowtoAutomotive]

CassinoG thank you!

[@elizabethreynolds9510]

Great video. So this looks fairly easy. I was told today that our mechanic is going to charge us $430 for this. UGH! Wish we had watched this before we sent it to the mechanic.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Elizabeth Reynolds it would’ve been a tough job at home on the ground. But you definitely would’ve save some money. Thank you for watching!

Thanks for the good info but you forgot to plug in the pressure sensor

[@willearglimniene5445]

Thanks so much, it was a lot of help! 👍

[@doyleredwine1683]

Doyle Redwine thank you for watching and writing!

[@luisvillalon2048]

Great video, can you please tell me how many bottles of fluid did you use after the hose replacement?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Luis Villalon one full bottle

[@TheAbrunqaj]

Nice video. I have a 08 Pilot. The steering is not that light as other Pilots I drove. I changed the pump from 1A auto still nothing. Do you think that the high pressure hose can make the steering stiff even if not leaking?

[@diedriegibbs6938]

HI. Do you have a video that shows you removing and replacing the power steering steel line????

[@phillysrus8349]

Thank you Great video 👍

[@lag3432]

I see you mentioned switching the sensor, what is the purpose of the sensor, if I don't have one does it make a difference?

[@dmoneyusa2851]

Is it the same process for honda pilot 2007? I got a leak and need to replace my high end pressure hose. Thank you in advance.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

It is the same. This video will work.

[@firstmicro]

My mechanic says a special tool is needed to remove the hose. True? and where would I find that tool?

[@EdsterL]

I was wondering how much it would cost to get this done at a repair shop? I replaced the same one on my 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe and let me tell you it was very hard. I have a 2007 Odyssey that I think is leaking and might have to do, if I can bring to shop I would do. Any suggestions?

[@hankmtl7244]

I cut the pipe just enough for a 14 deep socket to rachet the fitting off.

[@arielban1]

Hello, thanks for the video. Curious why you replaced the high pressure hose? Thanks in advanced

[@HowtoAutomotive]

arielban1 it had a leak at one of the fitting.

[@rogerholland98]

Does anyone know if this video applies to a 2006 Ridgeline?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Yes it’s the same.

[@jerrellstrawn6409]

Thanks.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Thank you for watching!

[@samgoldberger2305]

I'm about to do this on a 2006 Honda Ridgeline. All the literature says to drop the block about 2 inches for clearance, do you know if that is actually necessary or can I get it passed through without doing so?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

I am not sure if you have to drop the block or not. I would try without it first and then if you have to then you just go ahead and do it.

[@ga8986]

I just replaced the high-pressure power steering line on my Civic. After a few days I had a leak at the threaded nut that goes into the rack/pinion. Did I forget to tighten it? it's possible. Is it necessary to use teflon tape or thread locker (blue/red) on the threaded nut? I tightened the nut again but if it comes loose then I will use red locktite.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

G A I can’t remember if that hose has an O-ring on it or not. If it does possibly it’s bad. A little Teflon tape couldn’t hurt

[@standamanwatene7785]

Is this the same for a 2006 honda odyssey absolute as well..

[@HowtoAutomotive]

That’s going to be a different configuration and part numbers.

[@danielgibson5176]

I can't get the bottom end lose. I bought flare tip line wrenches

[@falcon2666]

Tried this, the part that goes into the rack and pinion wouldn't crack loose, even with penetrating oil. Used the sockets for rounded nuts, still wouldn't grab hold and break loose. Now I am stuck with a rounded off nut and a not working vehicle and no idea what to do.

[@russellbaker7026]

In that situation, I suggest cutting the hard line off near the rack and getting a socket on the nut. Irwin makes a really good set of sockets for rounded nuts. Sorry you're dealing with that. I've been there, it stinks.

[@8646USA]

I left a an inch of the cut line on the flare nut just in case this happened and had a last resort plan to cut and attach the new line with high psi hose and clamps to the nipple coming off flare nut. Thank God I was able to break free flare nut.

[@javiersoto5711]

What is tge name of the tool you used to untide the nut?

[@ad-rock603]

Crowfoot wrench

[@eksine]

[@marco1173]

That flare nut was so seized on there it was a real bitch to get out. In fact, the only way I managed was by breaking off the line and then removing the nut with a socket instead of the crowsfoot.

[@marklivingstone4603]

yeah I have a good feeling mine is seized also. I tried for 7 hours which included running to get a crow foot 14mm. NO JOY ! Since I am currently on 1 car with another car at the paint shop I cannot commit myself to cutting anything. Glad you did Troll ...

[@marco1173]

Mark Livingstone Just break it off, man. No use fighting with it for so long. I spent maybe 1/2 hr on it and after getting nowhere I figured it's the bad part anyway and I just twisted off the line so I could use a better tool to get the damn thing out. Smooth sailing afterwards.

[@marklivingstone4603]

Totally would of done it but down to 1 car right now so didn't want to commit to that.

[@montrose5paulina]

I don't understand why buy the hose of amazon? When you can buy it local for a lot cheaper and lifetime warranty!!! If its a shop and you're getting paid buy amazon, i guess.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Hector Garcia-Martinez I don't buy the parts from at the shop I recommend it for convenience for other people around the world.

[@montrose5paulina]

How to Automotive I just see a lot of DIY videos have amazon website, when I have noticed that eBay is way cheaper but auto parts should always be purchased local because of the lifetime warranty.
