I did the P/S hose on my wife's 2007 CRV yesterday (I am in a lot of pain today--everything hurts---I'm 67). I removed the air filter and the air filter box assy to access the screw-in fitting on the far end of the P/S hose so I wouldn't have to lay under the vehicle. The toughest thing to reinstall was the insulating block on the left. That 10 mm bolt is almost impossible to reinstall. Since I spent about 4 hours laying across the engine with a welcome mat laying across the engine. I have everything back where it belongs except I left the 2 short 10mm bolts out on the rubber insulators until the Missus gets home this afternoon. My wife suggested that I just tie strap the 2 rubber insulators instead of reinstalling the bolts back where they belong. I told her, look I worked on cars for a living for over 30 years. I believing in doing the job right. So when she gets home today. I'll get back to reinstalling the 2 very small 10mm bolts that I left, yesterday. It's a bitch getting old. Thanks for posting the video. I don't feel like the Lone Ranger now I know I'm not the only one that keeps his tool box looking like a total wreck.
@@itr0863 Look very closely as they hide those bolts very well. Look all the way around the outside of the box and remove the filter and also check the inside of the box. It's been quite a long time since I had it out but it's better to look thoroughly than to break something. Honda marks up their parts about 500 to 1000%. Don't you think 5.00 for a lug nut is theft? That's why I don't buy ANYTHING from Honda unless you can't get it anywhere else.
@@jumpercable20 i'm having issues disconnecting the sensor. is there a certain way to disconnect it? i'm simply trying to pull on it with my other hand on the old hose.
@@itr0863 It unscrews from the block on the hose. The easiest way is to remove the hose from the car and clamp the block the sensor is screwed into in a vise. Then just unscrew the sensor with a wrench. I'd recommend replacing the little o-ring on the sensor when you screw it back into the new hose.
Thanks Man, I appreciate people like you, I just bought a 2008 CRV LX and the high pressure hose is leaking, this will help me replace the hose and save me a lot of money!!
If you have trouble replacing the bracket on the passenger side ( 4:50 ), take the passenger side wheel off. There's nearly direct access through the wheel well.
Love the video, man. Thanks for posting! I also love your wrench organization. We’re obviously cut from the same cloth! 😂 I appreciate you giving the sizes. Let’s me know how long I need to look around the garage before I decide to just buy a new one when I go get the replacement hose! I’ll let my daughter know you helped me finally get around to fixing her car. 😁
This guy made the job easy , and after watching the video you may save money also by taking it to the right repair personal or you might as well do it by yourself. 👍🏽
At the actual power steering gear, the pressure fitting bolt is a 19 mm. The sensor won’t have to be taken off at a vice if it is rusty and seized. I also recommend spraying the compression bolt and sensor bolt with PB blaster the day before you do the job. You will have to cut the bushings and reinstall them and their brackets into the new PS hose hard line.
i could not get the 21mm wrench to take the hose off from bottom of the car. After many attempts, remove the air filter box as suggested in comment made it a breeze to take out. Took only one try and easy came off. Air filter box was held down by 10mm on right, 10mm on bottom left, but have to pull up from the upper right rubber (why not another 10mm heck i aint no idea). 21mm wrench (HD $7) on honda original hose, amzn replacement was 19mm. Sensor was also 19mm but it took a thin wrench.
Overall good video BUT… The main reason I watched it is to CLOSELY SEE how you got ur hands up in there to break loose that larger fitting over towards driver side!!! My 2008 is like a maze to get to it
After you replace the hose, do you bleed out the system first and then fill it up with fluid or do you fill it up with P/S fluid and then turn the wheel to bleed it out
You need a normal amount of fluid to bleed it, and the fluid level will drop as air comes out. Keep it from sucking air on that front port of the reservoir. The CR-V bleeds pretty easily.
I really, really, tried to take it out without cutting the line. After the last crowfoot slip and smashing my thumb bloody, out came the recip saw with the metal blade. The line cuts through the wheel well in 2 seconds, and then I slipped a socket on. One tap of the trigger on the impact gun and it was out. Less than 5 minutes with the cut method. If you know your line is shot, don't waste your time. Cut it. Save the finesse for installing the new one.
