Just did this on my 03 civic lx, man i cut the damn aluminum hose going to the rack and pinion like you! And i just put a new pressure switch on the new hose and put it all in there! And dude i use the same power steering fluid as you too! This is the first time i saw your video, literally minutes after doing it myself! Its good to see reaffirmation brotha!!!!! My leak was under the hose where the pressure switch is, whining power steering pump, low fluid, and would get whiffs of the fluid.
YO, MY NOW SAKI, BRO. VERY VERY GREAT ADVICE ON HOW TO PUT PRESSURE INTO THE SYSTEM & FIND THE LEAK. Brake Fluid is NASTY SHIT, EATS ALL KINDS OF STUFF UP INCLUDING STEEL.
IDK why they were there, I was maintaining my "Civic" (it was Domani of 2nd gen) Japan-made, it didn't have any of these. Had Honda replaced them in that generation, or that's just a local American story? BTW, those cars (JDM 95-00 Civics) had 3 belts instead of 2 in this gen (PS, AC, Gen (Alt if you wish)), so maybe that's a generation feature.
At 2:11 I thought you were just being lazy by cutting the power steering line - then I saw how much torque you had to use to remove the nut - I changed my opinion to genius- well done - I would have struggled by using a little line wrench - what was the brand of torque wrench you used - the small one that went down to 8lb
The 14mm on the rack and pinion will not come off for me. Every 14mm wrench, socket, and crows foot ive tried just spins on the thing. Can't exactly fit a pipe wrench in there either. Any tips? Kinda screwed until this comes out.
@@RustBeltAuto yes and it fits it but it takes so much force to even attempt to move it that it slides on the nut even though it technically fits it. It's not totally stripped yet but a few more attempts and it would be. I've been soaking it in wd-40 plus the power steering fluid leaking from it.
So I managed to take everything out, put all new hoses in, a new belt, new fluid. I drove my car about 20 miles alltogether and the whole time it was making a clicking noise. When I stopped at a gas station the car wouldn't start unless I really gave it gas and driving it like that and stopping it wanted to die. In my driveway now tried readjusting the belt but to no avail. Just won't start now. The original power steering pump is still in there if that's any help.
you had mentioned you have built and built and built bikes back in your day. & I'm not talking bicycles.. what can you do with a 4 stroke, single cylinder motor? just curious
Whatever I want 😊. I have owned, and built Harley's, crotch rockets, dirtbikes, wheelers, ETC. Now I ride pedal bikes, because I think it's cooler. It's easier to get away with breaking the law, don't have to worry about stupid stuff, and don't need a license, gas, or insurance.
@Rust Belt Auto maybe im too young to appreciate a pedal bike. gas blowing up has a way cooler sound than exercising my legs. what kind of horsepower can you get from a 4stroke, single cylinder motor? its got like 14 hp & its a 5speed
@@RustBeltAuto If you made some videos building a bike, the same way you made videos building a D16, not only would you attract more people who appreciate what you do, you might even consider putting your purse down and getting off that damn bicycle 🙃

Straight forward and made it look easy. I’ll be doing mine this week.
Bruh our of all other videos i've seen when it gets to the A/C belt, you made it look so easy!
This video isn't even about the A/c!
The big socket on the wingnut/adjuster was a very helpful tip. Thanks.
You Sir are a genius. Thank you for your awesome video 😉
12:15 nice belt tension gauge 😂
Excellent video! I need to do this to my 2005 Civic. Thanks for the tips!
Loved it! To the point, and genius on when to shortcut, when not.😎👍. My 06 ferrous oxide civic coupe thanks you

Yes. This was power steering fluid. It's different.
@@RustBeltAuto LOL!!!
The civic i did today was waaaaaay more rusty! That 14mm didnt wanna come off!!!
Excelent instructions.
Always thought having those wingbolts was a little weird. And a pain when they're stuck.

Wish you would have shown the routing
Is it just me or when he brought up the math of the torque did he get super mad 💀🤣

Inch pound wrench. Multiply ft. Lbs by 12 to get your number.
@@RustBeltAuto I want to buy the same model of torque wrench you used on the small fasteners - the one I have does not go that low
@@carlloftin2850 mine is snap on. Any inch pound wrench will do.
Awesome man!
Great video sharing
Saludo bro, y si solo remplazo la original y le pongo otra que no es original, puede quedar con falla como que el volante se ponga duro

That 14mm eats fingers for breakfast, worried I got the wrong line and didn’t want to cut it but f*** it

@@Eric-tc9mh almost nothing. Go bigger CC engine. Unless you do something stupid like forced induction, or nitrous. I wouldn't recommend that.
