the best video on power steering pump replacement

This video was a huge help. Just did this job today and it was a breeze having your video as reference. You can tell you're a professional. Mechanic wanted $900 for this repair!

Completed this job today. Tips: 1) There are two different 19mm bolt heads mounted to the serpentine belt tensioner plate, one high and one low. I stripped the lower one, but found the upper one much easier to push towards the vehicle's rear as it has more leverage against the hydraulic serpentine belt tensioner mounted low on the passenger side of the engine. I used a 19mm, 3/8 inch drive, splined socket connected to the long serpentine belt bar tool, also 3/8 inch drive, both from Harbor Freight. YOU MUST PUSH VERY SLOWLY AND STEADILY to overcome the hydraulic tensioner without stripping a bolt head. The thin serpentine belt bar tool is very helpful in this really confined workspace. I strongly recommend against using a crowbar or prybar against the crankshaft pulley/oscillation damper as it can generate a really large expense. 2) Really helps to move the power steering fluid reservoir to free up space. 3) Good idea to tie your vehicle's hood to garage roof overhead as the hood support rod gets very much in the way. I discovered a second hole in the hood that fits perfectly and allowed me to raise my 2007 Odyssey hood much, much higher than the usual amount. 4) After finishing the job and having drained the reservoir, the new fluid was clean until the moment I started the engine. It dropped from high to below low in moments and darkened up again. Wish I had looked up the full draining/flushing procedure - due every 60,000 miles/100,000 km. 5) Steering is doing fine, but will monitor it closely for the next week or two to see if the leakage has stopped. I only did this as mine has been leaking since we first bought this van 20 months ago. It now has 151,000 miles. Honda of America refused to help with either this power steering pump leakage problem or the dark blue paint (Touring edition) that is peeling off in golf ball sized chunks.

Followed it step by step and i replaced my pump. Thank you for this video. Saved me some serious money. Please make more.

Thank you so much for this video. $54 pump off ebay and you video saved me a ton.

Very well done! Great audio and camera work. Now i will confidently attempt to tackle this job. Thanks!

Thank you so much sir you just saved me $1900 through dealer. I will be able to do myself after watching your video. I usually don't mess with the computer vehicles but after watching your video I can do myself for under $200

Thanks so much for this video. My wife drives a 2006 Honda Odyssey. It has been making a whining noise when turning for some time now. We just recently noticed some leaking coming from the power steering pump area and she just told me that she has been adding fluid from time to time. Thanks to your video, I now know exactly what to do to fix it. Your video is very easy to follow, especially for someone like me. Thanks again.

Great video. With your help, I was able to swap out PS pump in 90 minutes. Spent most of my time watching the vid and searching for tools.

Got her done, great video saved tons of time and I didn't break anything! Took me 30 mins.

Thanks much Robert for taking my call, It was pleasure talking to you. Great Video you have with each and every single detail to replace the power steering pump. I was finally able to crack the pully nut open and working now to install it back. Thanks Again!!!!

Huge thanks for the very detailed and informative, step by step video! I am changing out the power steering pump on my wife's 2007 EXL Odyssey this weekend, your video will save me a tremendous amount of time and frustration by going over each step and identifying each socket size size needed. Liked and subscribed!

Great video! Very thourogh! For someone learning how to do repairs on their own this is very helpful and makes me think I can do it on my own and save a bunch of money!

Good video. I don’t see this one to change my pump, but it definitely is real. It explains what might be difficult, etc, and I experienced it about the same way. Except it took me way more time because I don’t have the right tools.

That was a well explained and professionally done repair. Thanks sir

Thanks Robert! You're very knowledgable.

Thanks for this video. My power steering pump was leaking and my local stealership wanted 750 for the pump and pressure hose. Did it myself, and saved 500 bucks.

Very detailed video. Thank you very much. I was able to fix this problem with no problem.

Thank you very much! So well presented, I can do it!

Wow what a magic hands, and high education. Thank you! 😊

Excellent and very informative video. Thank you.

You are a man of many hats!

Thank you so much for the video! My 2006 Odyssey has been leaking oil; I already replaced the o-rings, new fluid flush, and it is still leaking; it looks like it is a bad ps pump

Awesome video. Thanks Robert

Bro thanks for this education experience this gonna help me a lot from beginning to end and even like to subscribe but best believe I did this one and watch all commercials

Thank you bro. awesome show.

Awesome video. Thats a nice car. I have a 07 exl my pump makes noise when its cold outside, my fluid is low at the lower level line..

Tnx Bro.. for your video it gives me an idea to replace my p/s pump of my 2003 Odyssey good job!!!!!!

Never question

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

You are the Man!!! What a great helpful informative video, thanks for share!!!!

Thank you for the detailed video. Great production quality and explanations! My tensioner pulley will not budge when considerable force is applied (similar to the 6:00 point). Do these ever seize...and would it be wise to have extra parts on hand i.e tensioner pulley? I am relying on parts ordered online and don't want to leave myself stranded. Thanks again!

Hey -- FANTASTIC video. If this was a recall issue, will my dealer do it for free? If not, I'm now confident I can go the DIY route. Thanks!

Great video indeed. Showed all of the essential steps. Thank you! I have a leak near both of the PS pump hoses and I am planning to replace the O-rings first to see if that stops it. If not, I will be doing the same repair soon.

Great and detailed vid. Thanks.

these automobile mechanics are like surgeons. I know about as much about what he is doing as I would if this were a video of open heart surgery. These guys are really smart.

really helpful, well done sir

Brass, or Bronze? Brass is a lot softer metal than bronze is, and bronze tends to be used in engineering pullies for its durability over time. Great video, my son's 05 is gonna need the pump, and I wanted to see what was entailed in the job, we have impact wrenches and all, so this looks doable. Thank you for a detailed video on this process!

Good job great video hands down

Thanks for this video. Out of curiosity, what were you spraying the belts and pump with afterwards? Was it silicone or some other water displacement? Or was it a cleaner?

Thanks for the vid......we love you!!!

Thank for your video on replacing pump part. Question on the bleeding is do you leave the top or cap to the reservoir off during the turn of the steering wheel when you inside moving side to get the air out the system ? Just want to make sure .. thank you again …

Great video! Quick question if the o ring on the return line (I think it was the return line) is bad, does the new pump come with a new o ring?

Thanx soooo much, You just saved me a great deal of money. BTW near the end just before you put the engine cover back on, was that carb cleaner you sprayed on the new pump and belt?

Nice work. Thank you.

First, Thank you! I now believe I can replace this on my own. I filled the steering fluid with a non Honda brand fluid and the next day the red cap blew off while the vehicle was warming up. Fluid went everywhere and now the cap won't stay on. Just looking for an opinion. is it a cap problem or a steering pump problem. This is a Honda odyssey 05 with a 172k. Thank you

Great job man thank you

Exelente job I think is the best video

thanks for your video i would do this my shelf honda dealer charge me $378.00....question you say must of this power steering have a recall how do i know if my was on the recall list?

Hi there! Two questions...1) what are the torque values for the bolts (I didn't see it posted) and 2) what did you spray on the power steering pump and the area surrounding it before you replaced the engine cover?...engine cleaner?? Great video and thanks for posting!

Thank You.

Great video, thank you

How do I know it is my power steering pump not my rack and pinion if there is no leaking visible ....

Amazing video thank you

great how-to video, sir! i have a 2004 Odyessey that needs the pump replaced, and i plan on doing it myself. how hard is it to flush the steering system out before refilling it with the good Honda fluid? mine has some off-brand fluid, and would like to have a fairly clean system before filling it. thank you another similar video showed the belt tensioner being compressed ffrom below, (car jacked up, passenger tire and wheel well shield removed), If i also replace the serpentine belt, will it be harder to get it over the pulleys? another video suggested about 1/2" deflection, but is that a good distance based on the existing belt? thanks again

Great video! I changed out my PS pump on 05 Odyssey, but turns out it is the pressure hose that was leaking. Now I'll be trying to replace that this weekend. Any pointers?

Great video! Quick question, does this video work for a 09 odyssey? also do you have a video fro replacing the pressure hose as well?

Very nice! We have an 07 that did not have the recall (was supposed to be done but the Dealer never contacted us when the parts were in) it is hard to steer at slow speeds. Should I try to replace the reservoir first? If that does not do then the pump? The dealer won't do the recall now because we are over 100K on the odom.

Hi and thanks for posting this video. Are the tools needed to perform this on a 2006 Honda Pilot V6 the same? socket sizes and such?

You guys explain very good thank you for be so good

Work completed but hated myself when I over torque 1 of the pressure bolt so had to get another PS pump😡😣😡. Good thing local store got inventory. 😊🙂

thanks guys

great job

I followed your video and got everything installed because I was trying not to have my Grandma get screwed over by a dealership. I did *not* replace the high pressure line. Ran the Van and there was a LOT of bubbles happening in the reservoir. I figured maybe I had to move the steering wheel back and forth with each bottle...it sucked down all 3 bottles like a hungry baby! Took it for a spin around the neighborhood...it was still making a noise but a WAY different noise than before...parked it for 10 minutes and then moved the van about 5 feet backwards and the steering wheel did NOT want to move at all. TONS of PS fluid all over the driveway. I've not jacked the car up because it started raining but, is it common for the high pressure line to go bad UNDER the motor? There were zero visible leaks up top.

Robert, my 03 Odyssey is making the P/S whining noise. Belts are tight, steering responsive, no major leaks but does lose fluid over time though not dripping. Do you recommend a pump replacement or perhaps an o-ring kit and fluid/reservoir drain/clean? Wondering if just going brand new pump is the better route. 200k on the original pump. Thanks

Great video! Guys what can you recommend about the parts? Thank you

Thanks for video, should be easy to do. One question? I been looking on line at Auto parts stores. The picture of the item does not appear to have the valve where the hose goes into. Can I use the old one? or are there any seals in between that also need to be purchased or replaced?

Robert my name is Javier and I just saw your video and I'm doing interested in knowing if the steps you demonstrated are the same for a Honda polit 2009 Touring?

Nice video

Do you have any videos of changing the power steering pump on a 2005 aveo5

What brand of cordless impacts did he use?

I changed the tensioner on my 2012 Honda Odyssey EX now I don't have any power steering at all did remove the bottom hose to get to the belt any ideas

Your welcome

Changed power steering pump and now when i turn on the van the van revs up and down constantly. Sometimes just revs up . It wasnt doing that prior to changing the pump. . Im stumped.

how do you drain all the powersteering fluid if you want to flush the system? Thanks

Hi my odyssey make sound coming from power steering, sound like waning went I push gas pedal. So that’s mean I need to changes my power steering pump? My miles is 163+

Do you need to put the cap back on before you start turning your wheel to bleed air out?

Great video...very detailed. Looks easier to do than a starter I did on my odyssey. I will attempt when I get a chance. Not sure with the thumbs down...can't make everyone happy. :-/

You spoke of replacing the power steering fluid every 60K miles. Is that a DIY job or does it require special equipment? Thanks.

I want to ask you I got a sound after replace the power pump and when I put DW40 to the power pump pulley the sound stop. What can it be? Is it possible to instal the pulley diferente position?

Hi, did you have a light whine when pushing the gas pedal? Is that related to the power steering noise? Thanks

Great teaching thanks, a noise like a buzz is a sign to replace the pump?

Okay, the previous comments didn't show until I posted mine...understand it was brake cleaner that you sprayed...I couldn't find the torque values though in the comments.

Thanks so much

I have a 2011 Honda Odyssey needing a power steering pump. Do you recommend I get an OEM from a salvage yard or get another brand?

hey bud was just wounder if that recall was for 2003 as well my sis has one and it is losing fulid badly

How do you know if you need a power steering pump or Reservoir?

Some other video is slightly doing it differently. He tried to empty the reservoir first by using a turkey baster for less fluid mess.

isn't the power steering line called the high pressure power steering hose. and the other hose called the low pressure power steering hose?

Hi Steward: My 2008 odyssey le has the power steering noise since 110,000 miles, but it only in winter and after high way driving, if I shut down the engine and wait 10 min., then restart, the noise is gone. Could you tell me the reason? How much cost to replace the pump by dealer? Now my odyssey is 190,000miles. Thank you!

To all who are having a whining power steering pump when it is cold, replace the O-rings on the high and low pressure side of the pump. The O-rings get hard and suck air. Super easy and cheap. Use Honda PS fluid ONLY!!

pretty help full, now i can save some money.therefore, Robert i seen my pressure line is leak. can u help me out with it how can i replace that ?

Good vídeo👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hey thanks for the video....I have a 2005 Pilot would this be pretty close to the same way to change the pump on it? Thx

IS THE REPLACEMENT THE SAME ON A 2006 ODYSSEY

Similar install for a '07 CRV?

Is it the same pump n procedure for,04 odyssey.

Great video, thank you. I do have a question, please. I have a 2004 Odyssey, which has a power steering leak. Do you know if the 2004 had / has a Honda recall on this vehicle as they did on the 2005. Unfortunately I am not so mechanically astute which means I probably have to pay an arm and leg to get it fixed. If Honda does not have a recall on the 2004 could the leak be repaired by replacing the O rings, and if so which ones. thank you

Thanks again for this video. On a 2004 Odyssey, if the PS Pump pulley front and back faces are not identical, which face of the pulley faces the engine or faces the right fender of the vehicle. I am afraid the mechanic may have installed the pulley backwards, as the pump shaft does not extend all the way to outside surface of the shaft nut. There is actually about 1/8" space between the end of the pump shaft and the outside surface of the shaft nut. This maybe perfectly normal but it just does not seem to be in my eyes. Thank you

Is it the same procedure for 04 Odyssey.thanks.
