2005 Acura MDX 3.5l Power Steering Pressure Hose Replacement

05 Acura MDX Power steering Pressure hose replacement...
not something super hard but it takes time and u have to lower the sub-frame in order to pull the hose out....
Always use OEM Fluid from Dealer, if u want your Pump to LAST !

[@sirkid8553]

Make sure that your Reservoir Hose is also very well clamped onto the Power Steering Hose Connector, which bolts onto the pump. The hose connector that bolts on has a horrible seal that can leak and if it leaks... YOUR timing belt will be covered in fluid and will break. Sadly, it is a horrible design/location of the pump.

Absolutely correct !

[@julianahajduk6470]

so those brackets you pulled off at the start of the video, they don’t need to be put back on? like those are the same brackets you’re talking abt?

[@SGSRepairs]

Yes. So you can take the bracket that is up on the head past the power steering pump but the bottom ones that are attached to the frame you really don’t need them back on !

The power steering hose is so stiff it’s not going anywhere

[@thamtac209]

Do you remember what tool you use to tighten the fitting ?

[@SGSRepairs]

The fitting that goes into the steering rack u mean ?

[@thamtac209]

@SGSRepairs yes that one I'm trying to figure what tool to use .thx for replying

[@SGSRepairs]

@@thamtac209 so…. I did not have a special tool but the way i see it always something is in the way…. So i was very patient and used i think 19mm wrench and quarter turn by quarter turn i got it off and than on… lil tip: when you try to put the fitting in and wiggle with your left hand the hose at the pump, it will help you big time ! I think i mentioned this in the video… good luck !

WHY DID YOU SHOW US WHAT YOU USE TO tighten the fitting ! YOU SKIPPED THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE VIDEO!

[@SGSRepairs]

@@JaidenStylezTV i used a regular wrench 1/4 turn at a time, not much room to put a camera down there. Also i respond to another similar comment about how to tight the fitting. Wrench i think it was 17 or 19 mm and 1/4 turn at a time and i also explained in the video how to help yourself to How tu Aline the fitting to the steering rack. Good luck !
