Two thoughts. One, you can use the rubber cap provided with new pump to prevent fluid from pouring out of the old pump as you remove it. Two, if you move the belt to the side rather than remove it completely, you don't have to rethread completely. Saves a few headaches. Great video! Thank you.
I’ve removed belts in their entirety in the past because it’s easier to clean if you spill any oil. It’s easy to clean oil off metal but harder on rubber. It can make the belt squeak if it’s not clean enough. Coolant is especially bad at making belts squeak
Great video, Honda wanted to charge me $900 for a new pump and another $400 to replace it. I watched your video and picked up a used pump off Ebay for $50 and a bottle of power steering fluid and a couple of o-rings from Honda for another $7. Your video was spot on and the diagram of the belt and pulleys was spot on. I didn't look at the belt before I removed it but your video with the belt diagram saved the day. The used pump works great and I no longer hear any winding noise from the power steering pump. Thanks again.

Heartfelt thank you from a stay-at-home mom/nursing student! This saved me so much money I'll be able to put toward school! I will add that it was much easier for me to get the belt tension loosed up if I didn't put the low-pressure hose on the new pump yet, gave me just a little more room.

Great video, very clear. I didn't have the right extension to get my wrench on the bottom bolt with the pulley in the way so I took it off while still mounted. It seems easier this way, didn't have to use the vice, I jammed an open ended wrench into the pulley and the bolt came loose with a breaker bar. Reassembled the same way. Thanks!
Great video. Just a couple things- Torque spec for the pulley is 47 ft.lbs. Also i would flush the system completely before installing the new pump. And its a good idea to remove the reservoir completely and clean the filter/screen on the bottom of it to be safe.
Was thinking the same thing. It wouldn't take much more effort to flush the whole system. It can be done without the engine running. Numerous videos on the tube showing how.
I love my 06 pilot. Honda has really got it down on how to make a vehicle easy to repair. You pay more up front for the vehicle but so much time and money is saved in repairs. Shout out to Honda.
Great instruction. I don’t know if my tensioner had been replaced or not but the fitting socket for mine was 19mm. it’s amazing how much leverage is needed to loosen the tensioner!!! Thanks for helping by making this video! Well worth the time and investment.

Zip tied the belt to front and left breaker bar on tensioner, never had to put belt back on other pulleys. Also held the pump and used impact gun and pulley came right off
Good video. The diagram to put the belt back on saved my behind. The way you explained it didn't cut it. I did like how you told the exact size sockets to use. I got it done in about an hour and a half.
I would not re-use that pinch clamp. love this video, will be doing this repair for a friend in a couple weeks. good homework session. thank you for a great video. prior to this did not consider the little o-ring, total pro-tip! would you generally recommend replacing the pulley belt while doing this repair?
i like how you show prefilling of the pump, most videos don't show this. turning the wheels to remove air is best done with the engine off first (3-4 full turns) before turning on engine and doing it again.
i was stuck on the bolt at 2:20 for two days. It was completely rounded and I wasn’t able to turn it even with vice grips or a flare nut wrench. Eventually, I used a hacksaw to cut the line at the head and just tapped on an extractor socket and it came right off. If anyone’s experiencing trouble with the two bolts/nuts that go into the steering rack, this is the way.
Hello. I have a 2006 Honda Pilot and oil leaked on my alternator. I’ve read that spool valve can be culprit but I don’t think the 2006 Honda Pilot has the spool valve on top of the alternator idk. Does it? What could be the problem? My steering wheel was making noise and to find out I had no oil in there and now it’s so hard to steer. Can steering pump be the cause of my oil falling on top of the alternator ? Thank you
Where can I find the o-ring part? I tried replacing it without and the high pressure line is now leaking power steering fluid. How should I go about cleaning it?
My pump fell off what is the part called where you screw in the pump.? Its attached to the motor. Bracket.? Ive been looking up the name and no one knows it. The pump just fell off beguase that part broke and i dont know how to get the part
My mechanic says a special tool is needed to remove the hose. I didn't see anything special on your list. Does anyone know what he might have been saying and which tool?
Hi im just trying to change the pulley not the whole pump. I typed in power steering pulley replacement and nothing is popping up on TH-cam. Any suggestions? Or is this job only replacing the whole thing. Thanks in advance to who replies.

The pulley is not "pressed" on. It is splined. So it isn't press fit. Also the pulley will go on both ways so you can put it on wrong. You said it only goes on one way.
+Lettuce Shred Thanks for checking us out! This would depend on what you are doing and what you are trying to move the wheel for. The wheel will turn easier on the ground due to power steering but if the wheel is off then you will need turn by hand.
You should always flush the old fluid from the system before installing a new power steering pump or that old fluid will likely cause the new pump to fail.

Taking out the belt wasn’t necessary, you could of use a clip to hold it . After your done installing, would of been easier to put back the belt on .Now you have to be careful putting the belt back on from bottom to top 😅
totally wrong finishing: apply parking brake, front lift arms under the front of the car, get the front wheels in the air. Fill up reservoir slightly above the middle(to prevent fluid leak over the top). Turn the steering wheel left to right 10-20 times(just a couple minutes) - get out of the air. Then add little bit more fluid and start the car!!! That's the right way! But if I do that personally - I plug the houses without loosing any fluid and connect them the same way so I avoid waste of time.

Do pumps come with high pressure line replacement seals?
