This is a detailed video on how I replaced the high pressure power steering hose on my Honda Odyssey 2007 EX. After 176,000 miles the pressure line hose started to leak not on the connectors but on the upper part of the hose. I did an emergency fix by wrapping it with a silicone tape. The tape last about 3 weeks and I have to remove and re-apply again. I was able to do this a few times until the bottom part of the hose started leaking as well so I decided it is time for me to replace it.
Replacing the hose is considered medium difficulty level especially if you are not comfortable working under the car. You will need a 10mm to remove the screws from the top of the hose as well as the brackets, 14mm deep socket to remove the line from the steering box and a 14mm flare nut to install it back. I tried removing the line from the steering using the 14mm flare nut but I gave up on it after about 20 minutes of trying. You might be able to do it if you have a 6-8 extension. I was initially using a 5 inch extension and then I tried a 10 inch but both put me in an awkward position. If you cut the line and use a 14mm deep socket, it will take you 10 seconds to remove it.
Installing it back is a little tricky because the end that goes into the steering box will need to be perfectly straight so you avoid crossing the threads. You will need to first install the brackets as this will help you guide the end of the hose to the box. On the top, you will need to install the end to the pump first before securing the top bracket.
