Power Steering Pump Overhaul/Rebuild 2002 Honda Odyssey 

This should be the way we learn everything. You are the best Professor in the world.

One of the best "how-to's" for Honda repairs ive seen in a while. All with actual part names and all. Thumb 👍

This video saved me while on a road trip 2500 miles away from home! Thank you so much! So grateful!

Thank you for this video. By far: one of the best how to videos I have watched on vehicles (believe me, I watch a lot). Great camera angles, Great commentary, No video shake or sudden movements. Your explanations and play by play how-to was excellent. I rebuilt my power steering pump in the amount of time it took me to watch the video with only a couple pauses. I would have never thought to rebuild the pump if I hadn't seen your video. Glad I did cause my o-rings were just like yours; flattened and brittle (125K on vehicle). Please post anything else you do to the '02 Odyssey cause there aren't many videos on this year of vehicle. Again: Great job & Thank You!!

Fantastic video. How could anyone DISLIKE it? You have very little wasted time and great narration and explanation. Great job.

Excellent work. You are setting a higher standard for automotive "How to" repair videos on YT. I like the attention to detail and references to the documentation. Thank you.

That was the best instructional video I've ever seen ... thanks so much and keep them coming!! My problem a bad top O ring on my power steering pump (2007 Accord V6) which caused whining... I replaced for $2 and was off to the races, but I watched your entire video even after my repair just cause I couldn't seem to turn it off... Brilliant.

I started working on auto’s back in 1955, & wish we had you tube back then. Think you for your video .⚓️⚓️

Thanks ,with your video I was able to replace the steering pump on my daughter's Honda Odyssee, Works like a champ now without the noise from a bad pump.

Thank You soo much for this video! I fixed my 2000 honda accord se that has 229,000 miles on it just by replacing the gaskets and o rings on the the power steering pump. thanks for the learnig experince, and you saved me a lot of money! God Bless!

Thanks that's a big help because the layout and appearance is exactly like my 1997 Acura CL and your video helped me see what was involved beforehand. Made the replacement process very easy on my car, in and out in about an hour with taking my sweet time! Thanks.

Thanks for posting! My problem was simpler. Our 2003 Odyssey developed a noisy power steering pump and I was advised to "just swap out the o-rings" which seemed pretty simple until we tried it. All the other videos on RU-vid show how to change the o-rings on Accords, but I couldn't find ones for the Odyssey. The top O-Ring is easy to do, but the bottom one requires you to remove the bolt under the inlet and I wasn't sure of the sequence of steps to get to that bolt. I figured I needed to remove the pulley, but until I discovered your video I didn't really have a clear idea. Your clear and concise video really helped me to understand the process, but I could get away with not removing the entire pump from the vehicle, so it was simpler. One thing that I did wrong on reassembly was not noticing the two different surfaces on the two sides of the pulley itself, so before I completed the job, I watched your video again, and realized the welded side went out and the smooth side goes toward the pump, so... I pulled the pulley, reversed it, and all is well. Getting to the inlet bolt to tighten isn't easy, you need a short stubby wrench, a socket won't fit there. I should note the two o-rings combined are under 2 bucks from Honda, and our local dealer quoted around $100 for the labor. Love to see a video showing just how to change out the o-rings on the Odyssey, but since you did a total rebuild, won't expect one! My o'rings were flat and brittle as well. Thanks again, your video made this repair possible before a big snow storm hit!

i am about to replace power steering on my mdx 2002, after watched this video , its makes my work more easier , thanks for this video ...

I used this info for my '99 Prelude power steering. Thanks a lot! I did the hoses while I was at it, and flushed the fluid. I don't remember the power steering feeling so good, and so QUIET!

just finished following the video step by step on my 2003 odyssey power steering pump rebuild...Thanks!

Awesome, detailed video. I am going to give this a shot myself tomorrow. My power steering pump keeps blowing the top off the reservoir and spitting out fluid. I've flushed the system a couple times and replaced the reservoir. I have a feeling the culprit might be that O ring that you said usually goes bad. Thanks for the video. I never would have thought I could do this myself before watching this.

Thanks for an awesome tutorial! I'm about to replace my pump because it pretty much ate itself up internally! Gotta love it.

Excellent, very informative! I purchased the overhaul kit a few months back for my 01 accord and the pump is very similar if not the same as the one on your Odyssey. Will be trying this tomorrow with my service manual and your video!

I learned a lot by watching your video. My guess is that you either work on cars for a living or have had some training. Your vernacular and calmness as well as your great closeup pics are worth many words. Thank you.

There is no way in hell I could of rebuilt the Power Steering Pump of my 2005 Honda Odyssey without this video. Thanks so much for taking the time for creating and editing this video. By the way, the only difference with the 2005 Od was how to loosen the tension on the belt. Oh yes, and it fixed the problem. Nice job.

Really the best video I’ve seen on this . I watch this often, great detail.

Thanks so much. Worked perfectly on a 2004 Acura TL. I even removed the backplate in the down position and the whole cam/fin housing dropped out in 1 piece (and didn't even need to be pulled apart) as your advice was correct. INVALUABLE!! THANKS!!!

Outstanding video...like a magic trick, it's easy when you know /see how it's done. I rebuilt my 99 ody pump based on this video. Sure it's easier to replace the entire pump but where's the fun in that. Your attention to detail was surpassed only by the simplicity with which you performed the work! My only difficulty was returning the shaft/bearing into the housing. The 30 mm socket worked to a point but was to large to clear the housing. I used a 29mm socket to seat the bearing for the snap ring. If you have any other Odyssey repair videos I'd enjoy watching all of them...Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge with those of us who are always learning and trying to do more with less!

Great to learn from your work that I will pay close attention when rebuilding my 1999 Honda Accord power steering pump. It's leaking and making noise. It has 203,000 miles on it, so time to rebuild it.

Fantastic walkthrough! Thanks for all the torque specifications too!

Great video. I went to a pick a part and got my used pump for $43 with one year warranty as I didn't have time to buy a kit and rebuild everything however with my old pump I'll try to fix it and have a spare part for next time. Thanks!

Just rebuilt mine many gracias my friend 2002 Honda Accord

Easily one of the best how to videos. Very well done sir .

Best video by far on this procedure, thank you sir! My weekend project on our old 02...

Phil F Really helpful video. I followed it through to rebuild my steering pump. Works great

This is a truly excellent video. Very well done. Almost makes me wish I owned an Odyssey so I can follow your lead.

best instructional video, explained all very well, keep up the good work...

Thanks for the great video. Right now on the poor side, you help me save 100s, thanks again.

This is pretty much a professional quality video. I appreciate it

very good video. this would be of great help to many DIY's like me. hope to see more videos from you. thanks.

great technique of explanation

Explained very well to the T. You have a calm voice that makes one to listen. Great! Thank you.

Just did the same maintance today... Same result too... But the video helped a lot.

simply AMAZING video , greeting from Saudi Arabia

THANKS. EXCELLENT PRESENTATION WITH VIVID DESCRIPTION . I SHOULD HAVE SEEN YOUR VIDEO A WEEK AGO WHICH WOULD HAVE AVOIDED THE REPLACEMENT WITH A NEW ONE.

i did a backwards experimentation of what you did lol ... replaced high pressure hose first, which was leaking though, yet my pump was also leaking, so that got replaced within the next few days!

My pump is driving me insane with its whining and i have 4 kids so it must be bad. I replaced the line orings and it reduced the noise to only when i hit the throttle. Ur video has gave me the confidence to tackle tge rebuild. Plus its alot cheaper. So thank u. Nicely done vid.

I really appreciate you shared it with us.

Excellent job… i like it so much hope to see more video about toyota camry's power steering pump repairs.

Thanks I think you did an awesome job I’ve learned a thing or two .keep up the good works and till next time Stay teaching

This is very helpful SR Thank You!

This video helped me out alot I was able to find the repair kit at Napa for 12.00$ thanks for posting.

Thanks for the detail. Great help to success.

The best video I have ever seen, very well explained!! 👏 👍

great help!just did it on my ody. thanks a lot. i do appreciate it!

Thank you for sharing this video. Well done.

Thank you. Exactly what I needed.

Both are very great videos; clear, well explained. I'm a new bee into the car stuff. This motivates me a lot in working on my odyssey 2005 in the future. Had changed the front brake pads and bled the brake on it 2 months ago. Next project on my plate is changing the engine/transmission mounts on the odyssey. I'm in the process of gathering information for the project. Thanks a lot. My other cars are the Civic 2009 and Solara 2005.

Thank you, friend! Very excellent video I really liked the patience with which you teach, God bless you

u could use the pliers u used to move the hose clamps to use as the special pulley tool to loosen the nut. i have the same pliers and i use them to loosen the cam pulley nut.

thank you very nice video you explain everything so well

Good video,you explained pretty good thanks

Great job done

I do suggest thread lock on the pulley nut. The whole reason i'm watching this video is mine fell off some time ago. The pulley and belt stayed on for how long without it . eventually the teeth on the pulley on the pump the car wouldn't drive. Great Video , very informative , thank you!

Great video i have leart a lot from the video

Really good and clear. Thanks

Thank you very much for your details video

Thanks for your video we can supply the power steering pump

thanks for posting friend , im looking for a small pump like this to use as a hydraulic motor for a D&R project and this thing looks perfect, i suppose i will have to remove the flow control valve .

awesome video, thank you for sharing

Excellent video thank you

Great video thanks!

Good video .. I’ve done this job, and never thought of removing the pulley from the pump first .. it sure gives easy access to the lower mounting bolt .. will do it that way next time .. BTW, its not at all necessary to drain and remove the reservoir.

Fantastic video! No need for a service manual.

best video I've seen, thanks !!

Very informative video. I worked on hydraulics, and have one concern. When you placed the reservoir, there was nothing to stop grit from falling into the rubber tube, at 38.38 minutes. If that happens, it can cause the death of the pump internals. Scratches or valve jamb. Seal off every point of entry/exit until until the last second.

Nice video. I would suggest cleaning all the dirt, oil and other crap off the outside of the housing prior to disassembly. No need to take an unnecessary change of getting debris inside of the pump. Reattaching the dirty high-pressure hose fitting into the pump body was one chance of contaminants entering the system. The o-ring replacement at the low-pressure elbow was another chance of introducing grit, dirt and assorted crap into the system.

Thank you. Very helpful,

Really great video. Looks like a fun project, and worth $800 at the dealer.

awesome work thank u so much

got a 90 accord ex. the original pump shaft that rotates the pulley has 1 raised notch and not the "cog" looking type. the new pump has a dip in the shaft where the notch is supposed 2 be so the pulley is spinning freely not grabbing the pump shaft. it came with the notch but in a separate bag and im not sure how to fit the metal notch in the pump shaft groove

The manual does not specify a part number but it may be a NTN 6303LU (17x40x12). You should be able to cross reference the number off the old one and get one at a bearing shop, online, or an auto parts store like NAPA.

very great professional job👍🌷

Thank you very much for clearly explain .It reallly help me out a lot.

very good explanation

thank you excellent video

What an awsome video 👌👌👌👌👍👍👍

wear did you get your servcie manul let me know thank

Dude sounds like a Southern Jeff Goldblum. :-0 Great video BTW

Excelente video

I just rebuilt my sister 96 Accord with a $13 kit from ebay. She could not believe how easy it was.

Great video fixing the wrong problem. See his same video on fixing the power steering high pressure hose which was the real problem. I am shocked that the author, who seems very thorough and detailed, did not update this video telling everyone he had misdiagnosed the problem and that one should not attempt to rebuild the power steering pump until they thoroughly check the high pressure hose.

I own a 2005 Honda CR-V that was leaking steering pump fluid as well. There is a TSB from Honda indicating the issue and they stated to replace a failing O-ring on the low pressure return hose fitting to the pump. I am guessing that this might apply to other Honda vehicles as well. Maybe a complete rebuild would not be necessary. Great video with thorough details. Well done.

GOOD JOB THANKS

Very good

Thank you, very well done. Informative. I am doing the same job using a REBUILT unit. Rebuild is not always better than doing it your self. My unit REBUILT unit came with dirty red power steering fluid in it. As you noticed in your video the fluids are not red! Makes you wonder what quality inspection might have been with my unit.I was hoping you would have covered how to replace the belt, even if you didn't do it. It looks like a motor mount mystery be removed. Thanks, I just might keep my pump CORE and REBUILD it for myself or my dad's new Honda Odyssey.

Great Video! Very informative. I will be attempting the exact same rebuild along with a new Harmonic Balancer and new belts soon. How did you do the flush and how much fluid did it take to refill total?

very good.

Mucho bueno vídeo. $ Gracias.

Great video. It was very detailed Quick question for you. I have a 2001 Honda Odyssey and the power steering pump was leaking so i fixed it. When I brake and turn the handle, it becomes very stiff. Will this video help with the stiffness of the steering wheel?

very good video. Very helpful. My pump was working fine but I resealed my pump because the car is 18 years old. I also replaced the hoses to the reservoir, cleaned the reservoir, reassembled everything. I did not replace the o-ring in the pressure relief valve because It wasn't leaking and I couldn't get the 10mm cap off. At first the pump was very noisy, but as I worked the air out of the system, by turning the wheels side to side. the pump eventually quieted down. I didn't replace the high pressure line because it was not leaking. When I test drove the car, at low speeds, like getting in and out of the driveway onto the street, my steering makes noise and has a slight vibration. The pump is quiet and the car drives normally any other time. Do you have any suggestion on what could be causing this? Thank you in advance.

This is the standard for automotive how-to videos. I followed step by step and rebuilt my pump. No more whining. However, I have zero power steering at this point. Any ideas on possible culprit? I topped off my fluid, but still need to do a flush. Could dirty fluid be the cause? Not sure why it would be working before the repair and not after, but that’s all I can think of at the moment. No more bubbling in the reservoir, but st full lock, it doesn’t swirl very much. How fast is the fluid supposed to move? Any tips on diagnosing non-functioning power steering are greatly appreciated!

amazing video sir. I am getting ready to do this tomorrow, wish me luck! Quick question, how many 12 oz power steering fluid bottles did you need to use to fill it back up? And yes I will be using the genuine honda kind (: Thanks again for the very well made video!

Ur the truth ‼️💪🏾 thank you. Did that shit in 45 min

Awesome video it really helped. Changed out leaking pump on 03 ody didn't have time or proper tools to overhaul. Replaced with remanufactured pump. Have you had to replace any motor mounts on your odyssey? I think that is next on the list.
