- Honda Power Steering Pump Rebuild
By Aaron Gaghagen
Pulling up in a loud car can be fun. People turning and staring at your car because it's making an annoying, whiny sound can be the opposite of fun. It can be embarrassing with people thinking that your Honda is a hunk of junk. A lot of the time the culprit for extraneous noises is a leaky power steering pump. Replacing a power steering pump with a new OEM unit can be an expensive proposition. But that is not your only option. In many cases replacing the OEM seals, gaskets and o-rings will fix your power steering pump. Today we have our buddy and mechanic, Doug Ruthroff, will show us how to disassemble and reassemble the power steering pump for a 2006 Honda Ridgeline. This process is very similar for Honda power steering pumps across the board. In fact, the part numbers for the replacement seals, gaskets and o-rings are the same as the ones that come on the EM1 Civic Si! Be sure to check your specific power steering pump for the correct parts.
These are the parts used in this video:
Honda 91249-PNC-003 Seal, Power Steering Pump
Honda 91345-RDA-A01O-Ring (13.0X1.9)
Honda 91347-PAA-A01O-Ring (16.7X1.8)
Honda 91347-P2A-003O-Ring (15.2X2.4)
Honda 91348-P2A-003O-Ring (51.0X2.4)
Honda 91349-P2A-003 Seal, Power Steering Pump Cover

This is like the best how to video i've seen in a while, no adds, quality information, no wasting time and milking us. Also, great skill/knowledge. Thank you!
I'm about to do this for my 01 Accord with 313k miles on it. I have a feeling it's gonna take me considerably longer. 😂
I just finished watching your video, and thank you for showing us how EASY this is!
I want to also thank you for passing your knowledge and experience to those who are younger, or don't know how to fix certain things on cars! You save us a lot of money and frustration.
May The Lord Jesus bless you and your family!✝️❤️
Glad it was helpful!
Agree completely about keeping the vanes "in place"... Much like piston & cylinders (if not new). Makes sense to me :) I have seen other videos where they are picked out and set aside like general hardware. Common sense would dictate that "your way" is the correct way. As each item is worn in and "homed" for lack of a better description, to it's original location and orientation. My world makes sense again. Thank you for the video.
I love seeing seasoned and experienced guys passing their knowledge!! Great video!
I miss Doug it was fun working with him in the warehouse, he had good stories even if I heard the same one more than once.
Ahahaha! Hell yeah!
Fantastic video, did a great job explaining all the components and their assembly in a methodical manner.
Doesn't get any simpler to rebuild but take in mind they had a leak not pump failure from running dry due to complete loss of fluid while driving .. if pump works and is not crazy noisy and only has a small leak then rebuild it when in doubt change it out . There are other places leaks occur main one is oring behind return line pipe will suck air and make noise pump noise but it's only air and easily fixed have a nice day
Did this today. Thanks, Doug!
I like these types of videos that teach me something new! Thanks for what you guys are doing over at VTEC Academy!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you! I bought my Honda Element a couple months ago from a guy who took really great care of it. He gave me a very well maintained service record with a stack of receipts. Mostly I've been really happy, except for the fact that he had the PS Pump replaced just a couple months before selling it to me, and he bought an aftermarket new pump that is terribly noisy. The fluid isn't frothing and the steering feels fine, it just whines like a cat in heat. From everything I've read, most aftermarket pumps are just crap, and getting one that sounds terrible is not uncommon.
I'm looking to find and pull a PS pump from an Element in a U-Pick salvage yard and rebuild it, and your video gave me confidence to know what to look for in a salvageable one, and get it ready to install. Thank you!
Super simple! Gonna be sure to save this video for when the time comes!
Dooooo it!
Man, Doug is fast! I was about to spend big bucks on a new pump but will try this first. Thank you guys!
Hope it works.
That was absolutely amazing
Perfect, I have a leaking pump at this moment. Thank you for sharing this, the knowledge is invaluable!
Glad it was helpful! Hope your rebuild goes easily.
Just found this and subscribed. Did the same job on my 2006 subaru sti psp with a rebuild kit. Saved mucho denero $$$. God bless America. US AF Veteran retired in Hamden,ct 70 years old diyer
great that it seems like you can keep the vanes in place. made me most nervous about doing this job. Thanks!
Nice and easy!! Great video!!
Wow, super awesome video! Was going to buy a new pump because mine has been spewing out on my 97’ accord. If I can just rebuild it - it saves me 200+ bucks!!
Whoa, super helpful video! More Doug instructionals, he seems knowledgeable ✊
Doug is great!
How smooth are you explaining how to rebuild a full steering pump is amaizing. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, AND I WILL FOLLOW SAME STEPS AS YOU ARE SHOWING. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
Doug is the man.
Excellent information and video. I had no idea these were rebuildable!
Thank you!
Right? Thanks for watching!
Same thing goes for the brake calipers, alternators , starters etc. Which I have replaced using rebuilt kits
Any part that has a core charge can be rebuilt
Beautiful!
Thank you! I will start this project this week. Gotta order the rings first. 08 TSX
Right on! Hopefully it goes well for you.
Great explanation for power pump gasket replacement. Qatar
Just what I needed after getting a white elephant ridgeline. You guys rock! It might help others to put ridgeline rebuild on the title or tags too! 😊
Good idea.
Thanks for sharing! 👍
Thanks for watching!
My power steering pump is literally black, just flushed the fluid yesterday, black, and I bought all the o-rings and a new ball bearing too. Getting ready to rebuild today
Thank you for this🙏
Hope it helps!
I've done this before. If you haven't run it dry it's usually all you need.
Keeps it 100% original as a bonus.
Absolutely!
THANK YOU!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Wow, way easier than I would have imagined. Thank you. PS- I am sure you know that the NSX's are invading Scottsdale in 3 weeks. I hope to see you around.
Ohhhhh NSXs! Awesome, thanks for the heads up.
getting ready to do mine. it leaks. good tip to leave pump and vanes with the rear cover.
Great video. I managed to replace everything except the o ring under the Allen head nut 😠 of course a gorilla torqued it on at the factory, they must have used locktight too 😂 impact didn't work, so I tried a 2 foot breaker bar. Stripped it out so I said screw it. My pump was leaking from behind the bearing, so hopefully the seal in there was my problem
thanks guys👍 I’m trying to clean up my 20yr old Rsx type s engine bay and my PS pump has fluid all over it (yet the fluid level never seems to go down) 🤔🤷♂️. I’ve had it for 3 years so maybe the hose was replaced and it leaked on the pump but I doubt it.. the hose looks old. I really didn’t wanna go aftermarket pump, so this is awesome. this weekend I’m gonna clean it and hopefully I’ll be able to see what’s going on or how bad it’s leaking and if so I’m gonna follow this video! You guys are awesome!
How do you plan on cleaning it? I was going to do what I've done for oil leaks which is wipe the worst off with cloth, then use brake cleaner to get the rest, as long as I've got hoses and belts protected from it. It's been a long time since I've done any work and wanna run this by others first.
Nice 🎉
That was fkn awesome! Luv this channel
Appreciate it! Thank you.
Great video, now I gotta add rebuild my power steering pump to my k swap integra list 😂
Thanks for watching! Hopefully using this as a guide will make it really easy.
Very good video. Thank you. That white cloth you use to wipe dry the parts. Can I use any cloth or kitchen paper towel to do the same?
my dude did this brutally fast. definitely not his first rodeo!
thats cool
Doug is cool 😎
Hella cool.
Awesome vid. My DA pisses the fluid out of the pump in 2 days flat, until the reservoir is completely empty. Just ordered a sea
Kit now to fix it. Pumps are too dang expensive. Cost of parts have shot up in price
Where did ya order the seal kit from bud
Awesome. Kickass.
thanks for the detailed Tutorial! does this repair fix squeaky pump? on My 1997 CR-v steering is hard to turn, pump squeaks and softens only when pressing accelerator.
My heros😊
tackling mine on monday.
How this go ? What’s the results ?
cool vid ill be doing this very soon.
Awesome, hope it goes well.
i got 177000 on my 03 accord v6. still runs great. original auto transmission. the trans is getting rebuilt as it slips between shifts 2nd to 3rd gear
I see we are using the blap blap style torque wrench 😂
Still have my 1998 Honda prelude with 220,000 miles
Wish that bearing came in the kit. Looks like the same one for my odyssey.
Gonna do this on my 97 Acura cl while I replace the power steering rack
Timely video! I just bought a 2013 Honda Pilot EX-L 4WD... I went to change the plugs, she has 114,000 miles and no record of a plug change... Found oil in the rear bank plug tubes, so wound up doing the front and rear valve cover gaskets, upper and lower intake, the tube grommets and new PCV valve. I noticed my power steering pump was a bit wet, and thought time for a new one, and they are not cheap. Going to head over to the Honda parts website and purchase me some o-rings! Thanks guys! On edit: Just ordered the parts online, Honda Parts Now, $38 delivered. A new pump, near $700! Thank you again!
More video like this institutional video mr.brian❤
More to come... probably.
I got my pump that's not pumping all that well anymore. No leaks. I suspect I might find worn out metal parts that are responsible for the pumping. In that case, should I replace the pump or do they have kits for that too?
That's easy, make it come and get the shaft out. I'm familiar with that.
I have a 2002 Honda Stream, but I can't find parts for this model on the websites I've checked. If I search for parts like the head gasket or power steering pump using the 2002 Honda Civic model, will they be compatible with my Honda Stream 2002? Do you have any recommendations?
Is there a parts kit Honda sells? Or you have to sort all the seals/gaskets individually? Thanks for a great video.
I wouldn't consider this rebuilt if you don't change the bearings. Also, how do you know that the vanes are still good?
Thanks for the info, just bought the parts to rebuild my pump. Can you also do a vid of rebuilding a power steering rack?
That usually isn't as easy to do. Honda stopped providing that service at dealerships a while ago. I usually just buy a new one from Detroit Axle.
Can u guys do a repair video on a k20a3 pump i would love to see it. Im getin a whinnin noise and dont want a after market pump pleasssee thank u!
Rebuilding my 2006 Subaru sti power steering pump. Had a tuf time removing the bearing seal. Kit was $15 , bearing was $6 double sealed. New oem pump $500
Nice!
I did this with my PS pump on my 2010 Honda Accord. Ended up using a rebuild kit from O Reileys
Pretty easy way to avoid buying all new when your pump is still good.
@@VTECAcademy they get pricey!!! I noticed it was seeping oil from the middle of the pump… pulled up an Emanual for the car… and sure enough… found there are two seals in the pump. $175 for a new Autozone pump… yea no thanks lol I’ll pay $15-25 bucks for a rebuild kit lol
Y’all should make a video on rebuilding alternators too!!! I get halfway into rebuilding mine but I messed up and had to buy a new one from autozone lol
Spent something stupid like 350-400 bucks
@@VTECAcademy how much did you lay for the seal kit? Where i live IT s 70 $.
looks easy
we're to find the rebuilding kit
What are symptoms when you know its time for rebuild? My steering wheel makes humming noise when turning all the way to the left or all the way to the right. Changed the O-rings of the two hoses but that didn’t fix the noise. Is this time to do a rebuild?
Certain Accord models like Euro 2003-2008 had leaking O-ring which caused foaming/ air bubbles in the system causes weird bad steering respons like push back in the steering wheel in corners. O-rings 10 Euro’s. Solution Honda : new steering rack and pump for 2000 Euro 🤨🤨
I decided to flush/change my power steering fluid finally on my 190K TSX, after the flush now it’s leaking 😂, and now I’m going to rebuild my pump.
Make sure you use Honda compliant PS fluid.
What about replacing the vanes?
My problem that the pump goes out when revs are low (e.g. parallel parking). I don't see a leak but I'd like a diagnosis before I try a fix.
I did this on a bmw e30 and it didn't do anything. 🤔 was thinking if taking it apart again.
1st off thank you for this exceptional tutorial. Secondly, may you please post the link for where to buy parts. I tried looking up what you said,but i was unable to find the website. Respectfully, Eric
I think on this one I went to hondaautomotiveparts.org
Awesome video never pumps could be rebuilt. About how much should a shop charge to rebuild the pump? You mentioned it's cheaper than actually buy the pump. Thanks
Good question. I don't think it is more than 60-90 minutes of labor.
It’s great for someone who has lots of time on their hands but for under $100 you can get a good pump that’ll likely never be a problem again.
Gotta wait for shipping though lol. Or pay 250
Did a rebuild of my pump from a 2006 Acura TSX. Works okay, no leaks whatsoever, but the steering is a bit on the heavy side of things especially when idling on a fully warmed up engine. Please, what could be the problem??
Have you tried flushing out the fluid?
This is how people used to fix stuff. Car companies have intentionally made it more difficult.
This is a semi-modern part though.
On 07-12 model pumps do the white and black stick seals stack on top of each other?
If you go to one of the Honda website that sells parts, you can see an exploded view of the pump. No seals get stacked on top of each other in the exploded views
Don't forget gsr pump pulley nut is reverse thread haha
LOL That's always good to remember!
This is the peoples channel
So the question is: how would you modify this to make steering a bit heavier? Would you need to have a flow valve with smaller orifices?
That or some sort of bypass.
can I use wd-40 to clean the pump
Can you replace the bearings in those or are they permanently attached to the shaft?
Yes, they are available from Honda.
You don't change the bearing?
Is there w bearing inside of these pumps that could fail?
Yes, but it is almost always the seal.
I replaced the power steering pump on my dads car 3 times. First two were from Amazon, returned them because they were noisy as hell! Even after replacing the recommended orange o ring on the suction side. I decided to cough up the money for a brand new pump from autozone, same thing noisy as hell even after the orange o ring was replaced on suction side. Rack and pinion was also replaced. Any recommendations or suggestions? I’m tempted to rebuild pump using your methods. 2005 Accord 2.4
rebuild the pump
When there is a humming noise when turning your steering wheel, what needs fixing in the pump
I ve rebuilt mine because bearing noise .replaced all seals but it doesnt work llike. Before...i purged air .no help..do you know wornout limits of the vanes ?
I’ll have to look and see if they are specifications for that in the manual.
what are the best sites to get acura/honda parts?
There are a bunch of them. Hondaautomotivepart.com, hondapartsnow.com, afhparts.com.
Nice vid! Rack and pinion reseal next??
Thanks for the suggestion!
Just a heads-up, I was verifying part numbers for an '05 Accord EX w/2.4L, AT and found two pumps offered (one superseded?) with a few different part numbers than you have listed. I'm not calling you out on the "many different models, but all the same seals and o-rings", but VTEC Academy may want to double check your part numbers...or those purchasing parts to double check what you're buying. Thanks for a helpful video!
We aren't saying these part numbers work for all Hondas. We were illustrating that the basic parts are the same as the construction of the power steering pump is similar. It just so happened that the part numbers on an EM1 pump were the same. Always check for your specific application.
@@VTECAcademy I appreciate the clarification. Thank you again for this excellent video!
I had replaced a leaking oem ps pump after approx. 110k miles with an O'Rielly "lifetime warranty" pump. It's leaking after about two years. I didn't return the original Honda core, so wondering if I might be better installing new seals than messing with a warranty replacement pump...
Also, check to see if the pulley is pressed on. One version had the pulley pressed on so you can’t easily rebuild it.
12 ugga duggas and 2 clippy claps got it
Gotta wonder how those seals got flattened in the first place using an air impact. I guarantee the are way over torqued.
That's what she said lol
There were just too many times we could have said it too!
I thought my Type-R had a power steering pump fluid after trying to look for it for hours. To then be told it's EPS 🤦🏻♂️
My dad stubborn as he is wound't let me do this on his 04 civic, 68972 miles, a lot of original parts, and NEVER serviced parts (aside from oil changes and such), i was there for the last steps, the car worked fine, power steering better than ever (is was leaking, o-rings flatenned) but when they revved up to 4k (to test something) no power steering anymore, than it became intermittent, than finally stopped working. He tried to put another valve from another car in, but no, and just said it was the pump assembly, so we need to get a new one. Guys could be that he "messed up" any of these steps? (Obs. The valve has some little dents and scratches around the grooves on the valve.) Thanks in advance if anyone can help me with this, i could just move on with my life, but although dad is stubborn as hell, he's still my father, if there's a slighty chance of fixing this i'll take it. (Plus a new pump in my country is 1/3 of the price of the car.)
Good video but its a reseal job not a rebuild
True. I would never actually rebuild it.
this video is 2 months late for me 😔
Why didn't you tell us earlier? At least you know for the next time should the need arise.
How much to rebuild it for me?
We don't work on customer cars.
