No need to start the car when doing this .... You run the risk of damaging the pump.... First off , jack the car up , both wheels , drain the reservoir , plug the hole where the return line connects , fill up reservoir with new fluid, connect clear hose to the return line , turn the steering wheel from lock to lock , refill the reservoir..... Repeat the process until fluid is clear ...start up the car , let the air out of the system .. You're done!
FYI, he is doing it right. The OEM service manual states to start the engine, turn wheel lock to lock several times until no more fluid, stop engine. Notes to run engine and keep turning wheel until no more fluid coming out, then immediately stop engine to avoid damage (insinuating bad to run engine long time, but needed short term to successfully purge). Fill fluid to upper level. Start engine, let it idle, turn wheel stop to stop to purge air from system. Add ore if necessary. If still dark or not totally clear repeat process.
You have to keep adding new fluid. You have to The pump can suffer cavitation I don’t mean to be mean or anything but hate to see people follow and this may, emphasis may damage the power steering pump. Thanks for the video and taking the time to share your work with us.
I think you're very conservative estimating a savings of $100...mechanic: "Ahh, we had to change the power steering pump, reservoir, all the pipes and the blinker fluid was low so that'll be $1800! " * Excellent vid 👍
First of all, THANK YOU!!! for getting someone else to film while you do the repair! All these videos on here and no one thinks to have someone else hold the camera so that you can properly show what's happening as you do the maintenance. Second, that is very nice way to drain and fill the power steering fluid. One question I have is, when you poured a little of the new fluid into the reservoir after draining and the hose wasn't attached , what was that suppose to do?
Now I wish I did it this way ;( I used the pump method to extract the oil in reservoir and then fill back to max line. Once filled, started car and moved turn wheels lock to lock. Repeated this four times. That's said, I don't feel like I got the "dirty" oil out like you show here. Guess I'll have try this method next time. Wonder what the recommended interval is anyways. Thanks!
Thank you. Good work skills by using gloves. You may be risking pump damage by running it dry. It may be best to seal off/ plug off the upper Reservoir opening ( return line), Fill up the reservoir with new Fluid. Jack up front of car using jack stands (so no pressure on tires as you turn them). Use 2 people. Start car and keep filling the reservoir till clean fluid comes out of clear plastic return line into plastic bottle. Like a blood transfusion. Shut off engine. Reconnect line, top off. Go for test drive. Recheck level.
How do u keep th engine and under the hood so clean. An just to let u know u can purchase real HONDA POWER STEERING FLUID AT DEALER SHIP FOR $5 A BOTTLE.
You can clean the engine bay. Just make sure you avoid water or cleaner on the alternator, battery, and any electrical connectors (they're everywhere, but make sure they're on tight and don't direct the spray directly on them).
Because gearbox shavings cause it to getgritty and dirty which will cause your pump to whine and eventually go out. That's like saying why change the oil in your engine. Or why change your transmission fluid. Because you want cleanliness for effective operation
You ran the pump till it was dry! You have to refill until fresh oil starts coming out. Never let power steering run dry. The tube in the bottle should've been submerged in the dirty oil so that no air was picked up. Dirty oil is better than air inside the system.
This really is excellent feedback!! The video along with this comment was extremely helpful! I’m so glad I took the time to read the comments before attempting this myself. Thank you to both!!
@@iamdanilo8216I really appreciate the video. I’m curious when you started the car afterwards it was still making that noise?? My 2010 Honda accord has been making a strange noise and now my steering is fked up on my car so I’m trying to figure out if it’s just the fluid that’s the issue or if it’s the pump or possibly both.
@onlytymewilltell not sure what noise you referenced.. might need to consider a quick run to the shop for diagnosis. My car didn't make any unusual noise. The way it sounds in the video is how that car sounded when I bought brand new. It never had a problem.
Running pump dry for so long not the best idea. Also not using genuine honda power steering fluid also not a good idea have seen many pumps go out when using other fluid.
Thanks for your feedback. This is a DIY video, adjust as you see fit for your process in your car. Napa products are generally good with Honda.

Thanks, but what about the dirty fluid in the pump itself?
Pretty simple and straight forward. Can't get better than this. Thank you

Yea but Honda power steering pumps are already know for its part time reliability . Might as well not damage the pump and lift it up instead
I saw a video before your video and I’m glad I saw this video you made the process much more simple thank you 🙏
🙏🏾
Turkey basters from the $1 store work so well for this. That's how I did it on my Beetle. Going to do this on my mom's Accord. Thanks!

Great video. Very helpful. And thanks for the hundred bucks!
Hey man, awesome work !
Thanks for uploading the Video
Great video thanks!!
Wow! Huge difference in color!
Hi can you post what all we need to get from lows esp the size of tube line

Gregory Swan you're welcome
You're welcome.
You could have plugged the return port on the revisor and add fresh fluid until it came out clean.
What size hose do you use for this Honda
Now I wish I did it this way ;(

GR8GUY54 that way is fine you just have to be consistent with it. I do two or three bottles that way every oil change
Mine is already making the Damm noise as if its low or dry can I just add the fluid
Thanks for liking and subscribing to my channel.
How many oz can I put in there please
I've never been able to find where that's located on my 2015 Civic
Need help mine just foaming out the oil why ?

Joe T or pour new fluid in so it doesn’t run dry and check when the colour is clear
Thanks for your feedback.

Good job.

What size hose you used to connect to return drain hose.
Facts I want to know that too
THANK S
Smokey ......Is that you smokey....lol.
Thanks.
I replaced the power steering pump for Honda Accord 2008, and there is a noise sound in the new one.
The question here is that sound normal?
Yasser Alghamdi that doesn't sound normal.. take the car to your local mechanic and have it checked out.
The 2008-2011 accords had that noise problem. Look around on CZcams it needs a cheap o ring replacement
I know it's an old question, but the problem are bubbles in the system. You should use a vacuum pump to take out the air from the pump!
How much fluid required for complete replacement in this model?
1.0 to 1.3 quarts for an accord
Why do you have to change your power steering fluid ?
Because gearbox shavings cause it to getgritty and dirty which will cause your pump to whine and eventually go out. That's like saying why change the oil in your engine. Or why change your transmission fluid. Because you want cleanliness for effective operation
Where is the rest of the video
Chris Tucker.......SMOKEY....SMOKEY SMOKEY SMOKEY LMAO😂😂
Oh, you've seen my movies.
@@iamdanilo8216 messing with you bro. You do look like tho. Take care man.
whats the size of that clear tube
3/8 diameter
Whats 3/8 the od or the id
Did you find answer? Is it 3/8 OD or ID. I went to store and I got confused. Please let me know
You're at the store already, get both. Report back :-)
How many bottle of fluid did you used?
He literally says in the video it took two
Idemitsu PSF Universal Power Steering Fluid for Asian Vehicles - 12 oz. will work for Honda/Acura vehicles for a lot less than the dealer PS fluid.
You ran the pump till it was dry! You have to refill until fresh oil starts coming out. Never let power steering run dry. The tube in the bottle should've been submerged in the dirty oil so that no air was picked up. Dirty oil is better than air inside the system.

No power oil, damege pump ,
You ran the pump dry!!!!!
Sorry but you're doing this wrong. Don't have to start the engine. Also you need more than one bottle of PS fluid to get all the old fluid out
Use only genuine honda power steering oil.
Great recommendation... but this car/power steering is still going strong. Napa products are pretty awesome. Thanks! I used napa on my Lexus too.
