www.robertscust... www.stewardspro... Torque specs for p/s pump: 2 bolts in top of pressure line - 8 ft lbs. 2 bolts that hold p/s pump to engine -17 ft lbs. P/s pump pulley -47 ft lbs
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.
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?
Never spray silicone (Spray) under the hood of any vehicle with sensors of any kind. I have seen it on an Oldsmobile, all the engine management went haywire. He was probably spraying brake cleaner or some qukick drying solvent so the belts won't slip from any oil that may have gotten on the belts/pulleys. i'm not a Honda tech, but science and Auto Mechanics were my strong points in school. Definitely a cleaner. (great guess.) Silicone on a rag can do a nice job detailing your under hood rubber hoses, (not the belts) but avoid the nightmare i mentioned. ( I am on here to learn from these guys who are better than I.)
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!
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!
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
Very detailed explanation and mechanics tricks to make the replacement less messy, much more effective and efficient. Love this guy’s clear explanation.
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!
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?
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?
*ROBERT"! WTF is this crap .. I tell you what .. it's a GREAT VIDEO bro .. thanks very much!!! Awesome .. easy to follow, well thought out .. great job! May I make a suggestion .. it would be nice if you can lay out the tools required before the job .. other than that .. "U da Man!"
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!
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.
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.
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 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
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.
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+
Took me 30 minutes to find the nut for the tensioner. Turns out my engine is a 14mm located elsewhere. beware,there are two versions of the Odyssey engine.
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?
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
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
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!
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
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. :-/
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?
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?
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.
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?
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.
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
Please heelpp meee. The deeler wants more than 1000 dollars to fix my steering. I need to replace some parts too. That i know how to do it. Please. Thanks
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!
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.
Sound like air is getting into your system, this would explain why you are seeing a fluid leak. Try to locate the source of the leak. It may be at the pump, hose lines or rack & pinion. Make sure all the hoses are seated correctly and not damaged. Verify the condition of the o-rings on the high pressure line up top. If you have the tools to put a vacuum on it, then you can listen for a hissing sound of air getting drawn in past the seals. From what you posted it seems like the seals on the rack and pinon may have failed.
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.
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
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.
Do you have a similar video for a 2002 Odyssey? If not, how much different would the procedure be on a 2002, like does it need to be accessed from underneath the vehicle?
I have a 2005 Honda Odyssey Touring that is making a whining sounds when the steering wheel is turned. Usually only makes the sounds when it's cold. I have not seen any leaks and the fluid is a the recommended level in the reservoir. I'm not sure if the P/S pump was changed due to recall. I bought the van in 2010 and I have not changed the pump. Not sure when the recall was. Would you recommend changing the P/S fluid before changing out the pump? Fluid is due to be changed anyways. I also want to change out the reservoir. What was that you were spraying on the pump at the end of the video? Thanks for the info!!
Chris Hall I had the same whining sound problem when I moved the steering wheel. I also have a 2005 Touring. I changed the power steering fluid reservoir and at the same time did a power steering fluid flush which solved that problem. I followed a video here on RU-vid on how to do that. A few months later my power steering pump started squeaking and had a leak so I followed this video to change that out. Easy peasy!
