Great video on replacing the P.S. pump. I own an 08 Honda Accord myself and am in the process of shopping around for a P.S. pump and replacing the old one. This video was helpful and informational.
Excellent, just what I needed. I replaced the oring on the low pressure side and it was fine for a month, then I noticed it was now leaking at the main seal. So new pump time.
Yo, thankyou for the video! My friend told me that he is selling his old car the accord. Got power steering leak. I guess i will check it out where the leak came from and decide to fix or not.😁
Is the after market steering pump ok to use? The honda oem one cost 400+ and the aftermarket is half that price. Someone told me those aftermarket ones don’t last long and leaks time to time. Whats your advice on oem or aftermarket
I’ve had my Napa in for a while and zero issues. I recommend it. Say, you have 400, go for the OEM. My OEM lasted 11 years. If you don’t, then aftermarket is fine. Starters - i put in an aftermarket, next car I’ll do OEM
@@YoDIYVideos i am asking cause $400+ is too much for me at the moment. If its 100% necessary than i have to choose oem. I just heard bad reviews about aftermarket. If after market works fine and at least last at least 5 years then i rather go aftermarket to save money. I was just wondering what is your advice.
I bought a Napa remanufactured. No issues with it. The seals in them are replaced and rebuilt (put back together) and repainted black. Part # - NSP 826046. Save the money, lifetime warranty. Don’t think too hard about it. I always check for leaks no, zero leaks
My power steering pump wasn’t that bad, ended up having some issues with leakage. Every time I would check the engine bay, mainly had really loud whining.
Did you try installing an oring kit on the original pump and replace the internal orings and seals or did you just replace orings on the high pressure and low pressure connectors before deciding to install a new pump?
I did the later and then moved on to replacing the entire pump. I didn’t have the time to break it apart and replace the seals. I went with a Napa in house brand and it’s been rock solid the entire time.
If it's leaking at the entry way or exit, then by process of elimination and cost, the O-rings are the cheapest way to eliminate the o-rings. It could be the pump or the connections in those steps. 3-10 bucks versus 150 for a new pump, i'd go with o-rings first to try it out. Good luck and let me know how it works out.
I think part where the part is joined in the middle is my leak. There’s liquid accumulated on top of the steering part. Will change the ring first to isolate the problem
I like how you say you need a wrench to remove the belt. No size given... and then you pull out some long as unique looking wrench that you need to do the job with no description of this tool that makes the job easy 🤣👏
Ok, so that’s my bad. The tool is a belt tensioner tool and one end is a 14mm and the other is 19 mm. You can totally get a breaker bar and use your sockets that already own. Using a pipe as a lever, that’ll be enough to reduce the tension. I’ll link in description.
I went with a Napa brand one and didn’t notice any noise. I’d probably try to work out any air bubbles and see if that cuts down on the noise. What brand did you go with?
@@YoDIYVideos Thanks for the reply and great to hear. There are so many videos that condemn reman power steering pumps, saying only get new ones. I'm glad to see that mindset is really not necessary and we can both save some money as well as help recycle parts by buying reman.
Everyone always talks about the negative things, very few people talk about their success stories. In this particular example, the power steering pump is very easily accessible, worth a chance on a remanufactured item. Good luck, hope the car keeps on driving for a long time
Is there specific configuration that the serpentine belt has to be in order to work correctly? You know how some belts are going in multiple directions? Also, in order to get leverage on the belt, did you have to remove anything underneath the car?
@@YoDIYVideos Oh ok. The reason i ask, is because im supposed to be helping someone out with their Honda, so i didn't get a chance to look at it. But thanks for the info.
That’s cool, yeah it’ll be a easy job. Just make sure you draw out the diagram before taking it off and you’ll see how straightforward it’ll be. Just be patient and it’ll be put on easy.
Depends on where it’s leaking. If it’s leaking at the input or output of the pump, then try the orings. If it’s the casing, it’s most likely the pump. The oring and new fluid should be under 20 bucks, a new pump should be under 200 at your local parts store. My oring fix lasted for one year and then the casing started to leak. Replaced the pump and zero issues.

Thanks for filming and posting! I've got some work ahead of me...
Not a problem, you got this!

Good work!
Thanks for the video! A lot easier then I thought 😁
Good work, two bolts and you’re good to go.
How'd you get the belt off. Which bolt did you turn to release it
Saved me a bs 854$$ charge from the dealer spent about 4 with a family mechanic
Nice. Always good to save some money. Good work, 👍
Great vid! thanks

Mine u can’t steer when ur at a dead stop when driving it does pretty good. What was your systems?

So how do you know if it’s the o rings?

Ive replaced orings,pulley tensioner and sterring pump....still hear that whinnying noise...what next???
I can use my pulley off my old one can i
How long does it take
This'll do ya for 2003-2007 accords as well, the engine is the same(ish).
I think part where the part is joined in the middle is my leak. There’s liquid accumulated on top of the steering part. Will change the ring first to isolate the problem
It’s easily accessible, good luck and keep me updated on your progress
Did that work for you? Same problem I have.

Just replaced mine and I noticed a louder noise is it normal
I went with a Napa brand one and didn’t notice any noise.
I’d probably try to work out any air bubbles and see if that cuts down on the noise.
What brand did you go with?
@@YoDIYVideos I purchase it online not sure of the brand tbh I also noticed when I step on the gas there is a high pitch whine noise
Thanks for the vid! Did you replace the serpentine belt while you took it off? Is there anything else we should replace while we're in there?
Thanks for watching. I went ahead and replaced my belt because my car happened to me around 120k at the time.
But nothing else, just the belt
Help full thank you
Great job, how is the pump holding up? Did you have any noise/grinding sounds immediately after install?
Pump is great, no issues. Zero noises, running perfectly. Still driving this as my daily driver, the Napa part is holding up perfectly

You're showing me how to check out the serpentine belt but what's the size on the wrench to take out the serpentine belt.😑😑
I bet getting the belt back on was the hardest part lol
Is there specific configuration that the serpentine belt has to be in order to work correctly? You know how some belts are going in multiple directions? Also, in order to get leverage on the belt, did you have to remove anything underneath the car?
The serpentine belt does have a specific configuration for it to work.
For this car no, I didn’t have to do much under the car.

He make it look so easy is not
If my steering pump is making noise and leaking, do I replace it or will the O rings fix the leak?
Depends on where it’s leaking. If it’s leaking at the input or output of the pump, then try the orings. If it’s the casing, it’s most likely the pump.
The oring and new fluid should be under 20 bucks, a new pump should be under 200 at your local parts store.

Does anyone know the Torque specs?
Yes TAF (Tight as F***) seriously though just snug it up.
The screw on the house is under need to get to it he say it was on the top just look at it
That video is bull crab I did it on the same model is not that easy to do
