I replaced the PS hose, along with a timing belt and water pump job. Your video on the power steering hose was very informative, and your demeanor going from chill, to irritated, to cussing and low key disgust absolutely cracked me up. I just finished the hose, and I'm bleeding from both arms and my forehead. I'm 6'3, 250 lbs. and claustrophobic. I did the job on car ramps and was a little freaked out by how far I had to get under the van to get to everything. Had to take a break every 5 minutes to keep from losing my mind. I had the car ramps, two jacks, jack stands and wheel chocks, and was still nervous trying to romance that damn hose loose and then trying to get the new one back on. I kept thinking about your funny comments and just pushed through my fear and got that sucker done!!!
No leaky leaky. Thank you. I tried to use the same swear words, and I was rewarded with success.
Propper swear words are key!
Hondas don't understand English. You have to use Japanese swear words to get them to cooperate.
Thanks for your video. The last bolt took me 3 hours to get on. You are right it needs to be bent down towards you a little bit, or it won't in. I fought 14 hours yesterday. It sucks.
Thank you for the how-to! I appreciate all of the collected experience available on UA-cam these days.
I just did this repair last night on our ‘04; pump, pressure line and reservoir. The pump had been noisy but functional for a couple of years, and I figured I ought to replace the line since it’s evidently a known source of problems.
It was a truly awful time. I bought an aftermarket line from the local auto parts store, “Sunsong” brand, and most of the bends were subtly incorrect. I had to adjust several.
I fought with the damn thing for at least ninety minutes trying to feed it through from the passenger side and kept getting hung up on that last “hook” at the flare end. I pulled it back out, started from the driver side and it worked more easily.
No fun at all. Next time(hopefully never) I will buy a Honda pressure line!
To do a video on something like this was annoying AF. First attempt at video making pressure line skill honing, If that makes any sense. Thanks for watching!
@@RustBeltAuto haha, this is not a skill I want to develop ;) once is enough! Take care.
Awesome video. Could not have done this job without seeing this video!
Real pain in ass ballbuster of a job
Doing this job right now and it's pissing me off!
Thanks for all your advice!!!!.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, It save us time and money .
Couldn't have done this without your help. Thanks!
Thanks for the video AND the comments along the way! Exactly what I would have said but with the "expletives" deleted!
I will add this. I greatly extended the life of the leaking hose by using Lucas P/S stop leak. It didn't TOTALLY stop the leak but drastically reduced it to a manageable seep. Worth a try if you can't replace the hose right away.
Your mileage may vary, and probably will!
A couple of things make this much easier. First, since you are changing
the hose and discarding the old hose, don't worry about how baddly you
mangle it - I had to use an 8 inch pipe wrench to get it loose. I tried a
14mm flare nut wrench but no luck. Could not get enough leverage on it
to remove it. The pipe wrench did the trick and it loosened up.
Secondly, before you pull out the old hose, tie a string to it so you
can see the path needed to get the new hose into proper position. Then
you will find, it is much easier to put the new hose in from underneath.
First thing to do is to disconnect the Oxygen sensor that goes to the
exhaust. Then remove the connector from the bracket and push it out of
the way. Then, start on the driver's side behind the cross beam that
the hose was attached to with the 2 brackets , insert the rubber part of
the hose through to the passenger side - not too far because then you
will insert the tube with the flare nut into the other side where the
old one used to go - just follow the string with regards to where to put
it. Once you get the tube in to where you can see it from the driver
side wheel well and it is nearly in position to connect back up (it
should be at the wrong angle at this point) go back to the hose on the
passenger side. You should be able to move it past the bracket next to
the bracket that held the oxygen sensor, and into proper position while
also working up the hose to the power steering pump - this part is
easier if you have someone to help and pull it up from above. The hose
should move up towards the PS pump and the person underneath can make
any additional adjustments to the positioning - which should be much
easier without the oxygen sensor in the way. Once the tube is in place
underneath, do not attach the brackets until you are sure you can
properly thread the flare nut back into the steering rack. I applied
some anti-seize lubricant to the nut (a very small amount) so if I need
to do this again, it won't be such a pain in the butt to get that nut
loose. It is difficult to get much of the nut in by hand - start it with
your fingers and then use an open end wrench/box wrench to gently
tighten it until it starts to become snug. Then go back under and attach
the 2 clamps and then lastly the clamp on the back of the engine.
Attach the connector to the power steering pump and then go back
underneath and tighten the flare nut on the steering rack with a flare
nut wrench. Re-check your connections and tighten as needed. Do not
over-tighten on the aluminum pump or the flare nut on the steering rack.
Then go back underneath and put the 2 clamps back on in the proper
positions. The clamps have tabs that go into notches on the cross beam.
The clamp on the driver side is easy as it is right in front of you when
underneath. The other is on top of the cross beam so it can be a bit
more difficult. Get the tab into the notch and then thread and finger
tighten the bolt and use the socket with a short extension on it by hand
and then as it gets tight, use a ratchet. Tighten the other clamp and
then go back up top and install the clamp on the back of the engine. Go
to the passenger sid wheel well and put the oxygen sensor female plug
back onto the bracket and then go back underneath and reconnect the
oxygen sensor. From the passenger side wheel well, you should be able to
reconnect the PS pressure sensor as well. Make sure your connections
are tight and then bleed the power steering. Some of the videos on this
said it took hours to get the new hose back into the car. Doing it from
underneath, made it much faster. In total, it took an hour to get it
back in. But, had I known to remove the oxygen sensor connector from the
bracket, I would have been able to shave off about 15 or 20 minutes.
Also, approaching it from underneath makes much more sense as you run
the tube up to the driver side to the steering rack and the flexible
hose through to the passenger side. was much smoother than trying from
the side (I tried that too and found it to be a real pain.) Also, I did
not have to bend the tube at all to get it back into proper position.
Good luck!
You win.
Thank you for taking the time to write all this out. Have decided not to attempt this myself...lol...I have very little in the way of experience.
@@briancloris815 Did you have someone do it for you? Just curious. I'm a mechanic by nature not by trade, I work on all my cars - Hondas give me a love hate relationship. Anyway, It's not THAT bad just takes a LOT of patience and a LIFT!! This was a great video honestly
It really is a SOB working on these things. I have an 04 Odyssey and an 04 Pilot. Man. I did heads on the pilot (wiped a bearing on the right head, so I did valves springs seats new back cam, lapped them, the whole nine) and like 4 months later a friggin' connecting rod bearing went and lost 1.5 mm oblong off my crank, I finally threw in the towel.. Pulled both heads - they're BRAND NEW! - the next day blew a head gasket on my Odyssey. haha wtf man. Well i'm over 300k miles on both of them. The odyssey hasn't thrown an engine light in years though.. I keep it clean and change the oil often. Frigin PS line went on it.. I'm going to do the swap with the heads off though, I have a feeling it'll be a shit of a load easier to do without all that stuff in the way, but I wanted to watch this anyway. Man I wish I had a damn lift.. Sucks being a mechanic without a shop. Thanks for the actual HUMAN video, unlike the HIGHLY edited premium content garbage on here guys with zero issues, fucking liars.. I know this thing is a half a nightmare almost every damn job. Fuck just cleaning the EGR is a damn nightmare.. Thanks for the video man, I'm going to subscribe just to watch you work and listen to you bitch.. Sorry I curse in here so you probably won't like this comment, but thanks again for keeping it real. - Home Honda mechanic here, self taught haha I'm a chevy guy. Oh well!
Thank you very much for this video!
I paid someone to replace the leaking top hose. Afterwards, it squealed like a banshee. They claimed it would just take time to bleed out the air. (B.S. - no change after a week)
The dealer told me the only thing it could be is a bad pump. (Idiot)
I used a turkey baster to remove the fluid from the reservoir. Hardly any spilled.
I got the pump out. removed the bottom pipe and noticed there was no resistance. The new o-ring on top was very hard to pull off.
This made me suspicious. I tested the spring of the o-ring. It broke into 3 pieces.
I figured it was worth a shot, so I put on a new o-ring, put it all back together, and like magic, it works fine with no noise.
I'm guessing when they replaced the top hose, even though they didn't touch the bottom hose, while the fluid was drained out, the o-ring dried out and became like glass.
I just paid someone to replace my pressure hose. I only had a very minor leak and now it's leaking like a MF with the new hose. Now I have to find someone else to fix the first guys mess. Can't get good help these days.
@@fotomedia1 I only do my own work on my cars.. I'm not a professional mechanic but I'll do it before I'll PAY someone to rape me.. I've done ok so far, never blown anything up.. Get your hands into it, watch sme youtube videos and buy some Harbor freight Tools.. you'll be ok I promise! (I know this is from 3 years ago but look if you don't try, how do you know if you can or can't just do it yourself?)
That line was hard to get it back on. Took me almost 2 hours. Never again.
The way I fixed the leak was I cut a bicycle tire tube wrapped around hose joint and attached two hose clamps 5 years and I see no leaks yet
Now that's an amazing story. I would like to see that one.
Thank you for a great Video. Helped me tremendously!! And.. thanks for making me laugh!!
Lord i would never let this man work on my car.
What's the downside?
I wonder if you could avoid bending the tube if you started by inserting the end that connects to the pump through the gap on the drivers side... inserting it toward the passenger side. Just the opposite of what you did. Then you wouldn't have the problem of getting that hook part around the corner and into position. It might still need a little bending to get it square but it might be an easier process. In any case great video! I have the 2007 and they eliminated that hook bend but on the 2007 it's very hard to get at that end connector with a wrench. It can be done but it's a pain!
Thank you for the video. I'm in the process of installing the power steering pressure hose on my '04 Odyssey. I am curious what did you use to bend the line while you were under the car to make it fit?
Brute strength. There is a point from skill where you know if you bent it too much, it will kink. You don't want that. Good luck.
3:40 , 4:30 lmao. I subscribed coz you sounded like me there
What no00 waaay...f's sakes....this is giving off the same energy @whatnooowaaay ...I love it.
great video man, funny af as well!
I got stuck, spent hours trying to get the new line in until midnight and no luck. I'm pissed. Have to go back to the bastard tomorrow now. Everyone says it is difficult, but for reason it's extra difficult for me, my brain refuses to figure a way out to wiggle the thing into place, I bent it like the oem line too. I'll get it eventually, hopefully.
You will bend that line trying to get it in. Bend it back to good enough when you get the thing bolted in. They do suck. I have done much worse ones (Honda Prelude comes to mind). Good luck.
@@RustBeltAuto Thanks for the advice, and it's what I did. It's working with no leaks, couldn't attach the two bottom clamps though, couldn't get a nice straight line in that location.
@@LostBeetle zip tie hack it if you must. You don't want that moving around in such a way that it rubs a hole in the line. Best advice I can give under your circumstances. Thanks for watching.
Just did a 2005. Much harder. The fitting is on the opposite side of the steering box. Sheesh! I use a bungee to pull on the steering wheel to find the leak.
Nice job !!!
This video helped us replace ours. One wire on the pressure switch is broken and I can’t find a video showing how to replace the wires. Could you tell us how to do it? We were told it could be the cause of multiple misfires.
Just use waterproof splice connectors. It should not cause a misfire. You may have a bad coil, or something. That switch idles the car up when you get excessive pump pressure.
@@RustBeltAuto ok thank you. I’ll look into that.
My pressure switch is just like that would that cause the fluid to leak out through the reservoir? or would it be something else?
Question I have an 09 Odyssey and I've had a very small leak from the power steering high pressure line for over a year. Can I try changing just the o ring on the high pressure side of the pump since the leak is slow and I don't need to add fluid except maybe every few months about the difference between the high and low fill lines on the reservoir? Or should I just bite the bullet and change the whole thing? The weird thing is even though the level does not go down much it makes a he'll of a mess on the underside of the vehicle and I do get a couple bubbles in the fluid here and there but the steering is fine and the noise is minimal. Anyway if the oring doesn't work I might buy an aftermarket steering line and try to find an independent mechanic to fix it up. Otherwise I've been quoted $800 for this repair and its really not warranted at that price. That's why I figured try the o rings first. The leak appears to be sea page near the top of the pump but the pump seems to work fine
I cannot answer that definitively.
Well I bought an aftermarket high pressure hose and plan on having it installed this coming week. Thankfully the guy ill be bringing it to will only charge me for an hour of labor which equals $100. So for $150 it should be fixed. The thing I find strange is if the hose is high pressure why does the leak not squirt out. Instead its a seep. I'm glad it does that but had it been squirting from the hose it would have been obvious way before now. Any thought on why a hose would weep as opposed to spray out?
Any advice on which brand to buy...genuine or us there a good aftermarket brand? Or where to buy it from? Been looking at genuine parts sellers and not sure who is trustworthy.
They all suck about equally the same.
This leaking hose can cause a misfire on both banks ?
I'm going to go with no.
At 1:30 in the video what’s the line there called Bc mine is busted and I need to get it replaced
I dont know
What a pain in the ASS, this was...............Stupid fn design....Thank you for this video................JB....
A lot of these lines in all FWD cars can get pretty ridiculous.
@@RustBeltAuto Very True.What I did on this one was to drop the rear cradle, it gives me more room to get this sorry line up in there....And yes I did charge 4 hrs labor.....
Yep that’s what I said. Why can’t they design a replacement that is flexible enough to go where this hose needs to be to fit? Or better yet move the fitting towards the fire wall underneath the van somewhere so it’s easily accessible? Wow what a pain in the ass
What time. You are change ?
I don't know
The guys bitchin' up a storm then he says that was the easy part? I'm calling the mechanic for this garbage
We don’t have a leak on our 1999, it’s noisy.
Time for a pump probably
@@RustBeltAuto Thanks!
@@J1Z06 could be wrong, but doubt it. When they get old and worn they cavitate sometimes.
@@RustBeltAuto it sits a lot. 120,000 miles. Thank you.
Canada eh?
The price is wrong Bob.
