- On my 2005 Honda Odyssey, the power steering pump was leaking. It has about 96k miles on it. You will need a break over bar, 3/4" SAE short socket, several rags, pair channel locks, 3/8 ratchet stubby and a flex head, 3/8 short and long extensions, 10mm, 12mm and a 19mm short sockets, pair needle nose pliers. It took me about and hour from start to finish. I highly recommend purchasing the Honda repair manual from Helm. My manual cost me about $70 shipped. Our Odyssey has served us well since 2005.
Your video just saved me $500!!!! I thought, "What the heck! If he can do it, so can I." And I did. Your video was just AWESOME!!!!! And, thanks for being honest about the spills and such - It made me more prepared. One hour and 15 minutes later, no more whining. Well, not from the car anyway. The kids still do... ;)
great video, Honda engineers have their heads where the sun don't shine.
Hey man thank you so much for your video I saved $188.00 dollars and labor on replacing the power steering pump and seals.
Your videos makes it very easy it took me 20 minutes at the most to remove and replace ones again thank you..
I replace the power steering pump on a Honda Ridgeline 2006 is the same format
Great video!!!! The only issue that I ran into was getting the pulley off. That was by far the hardest part. After some WD-40 and a torch to heat it up a bit, I was finally able to get it broken loose.
Jody Rosner im glad the video was able to help. Our Odyssey is still running like a champ.
Thanks a lot brother! Great video!!! The dealer wants to charge a ton of $$$ to fix ours. We also have an 05 Odyssey and has been very dependable at 107,000 miles. I'll be replacing the pump soon. Wish me luck! 😊
Thanks for your vid. Just did this tonight for a friend. Was a breeze.
Great video, very clear and I appreciated the step-by-step. I do have one comment: the tension-release "bolt" to loosen the serpentine is made of very soft metal. Although a 3/4" will basically fit, you run the risk of stripping it (like I did). I would recommend that you invest in a 19mm so that you save yourself my aggravation -- and to be double safe, get the hex-headed one, not the 16-spoke, "star" design; Craftsman makes one and they stock them at Sears.
But aside from that, wonderful video; it easily saved me $500 over taking it to the dealer.
$500, wow. I'm glad the video helped you out. My next video will be on the left sliding door.
19mm = 3/4. There is literally about a 2/1000 inch difference, far less than you would see in just manufacturing tolerance differences.
Great video but if you empty the reservoir first is more like to avoid the fluid all over the van. You don't need to remove the pulley a deep socket will work fine for both bolts. Make sure to replace the O rings. Very simple job about half hour
Great video, helps me know what i will be getting into when I replace mine.
One of the best DIY Honda videos on youtube, thank you for sharing.
Awesome video!! Swapping mine out tomorrow and this video should be a perfect companion. :)
On taking the hose off I always put a old bolt in it then clamp it off. Prevents it getting knocked around and spilling and anything falling in.
What I did was get a syringe and pull most of the fluid out of the reservoir first. Took just a few minutes. Then, when removing the return hose (the lower one), nothing spills. Then take the syringe and draw the standing fluid out of the inlet connector. Result: almost zero mess. Turkey baster would probably work as well as a syringe.
Many thanks for the video. I ran into some difficulty that others may appreciate learning about.I tried to change my serpentine belt in early March in Connecticut along with replacing my tensioner (the piston was shot). The outside temp was 10 degrees. After struggling to get the old belt off, the new tensioners swapped out without a hitch. However, when I tried to put the new belt on, I could barely get the new tensioner to move. I purchased the tensioner tool and tried to get the tensioner piston to compress. Instead of compressing the piston, the tool head sheared off the tool. I replaced the tool and it happened again. The tool is cheap, but it was certainly strong enough to work under normal conditions.I thought it might have been too cold and that the piston fluid was nearly frozen, so I waited until it warmed up a bit. That took two weeks.With 50 degree weather the piston compressed without any trouble and the 15 minute job that turned into a 2 week adventure was finally done. Lesson learned.
10 degrees is too cold for me. I would have to get inside a garage, put up a canopy or make some type of structure. I need to make that video on the sliding doors.
Thank you very much for the video. Just replaced the pump and flushed the system in my '08 in less than one hour. Your instruction was clear and very easy to follow.
Thanks for posting your video. It was a great help when I changed my power steering pump out. I like your zip tie idea!
that's a very helpful video, thank you for taking the time to make it.
Thanks very much for this video. It's been a great help. The only problem I foresee is that the temperature outside is well below zero. :)
Yes, temps below zero would be something to overcome. I just happen to do mine when it was warmer. I still need to do my left sliding door. Honda wants $800.
Scott Stevenson Hi Scott, thx for the video. Have you had a chance to address the left sliding door? I just know that day is coming soon, for both doors on our 05 Odyssey. Video on that would be greatly appreciated :)
cheers
Chris Nicholson No on the left sliding door as of yet. I wont get any time off until late May. I did replace both of the tailgate lifts last weekend. That is the second time I had replaced them. It appears that they last about five years. I bought them off of eBay for about $40 shipped. There are plenty of videos on how to do them. I have not seen any videos on the doors. I will have to get my mind right for that job.
+Scott Stevenson I am watching your video and planning to replace the power steering pump on my 05 Odyssey as well. What do you need to fix on your sliding door? I have made repairs on both of my sliding doors...maybe I can offer you some help/info/advice? Let me know.
Thx Scott, didn't notice your reply till just now.
Cheers
Always drain the fluid first before working on the pump. Use a turkey baster to suck it out of the reservoir and get rid of it. Then replace it with new when finished replacing the pump.
i probably would have installed the o rings wet with a little power steering fluid to prevent any chance of tearing them.
Awesome video man!!! Keep up the great work. This video was extremely helpful to me.Thanks again...
I get to do the repair this weekend. 198K miles. First time was under warranty 100K ago. QUESTION: Is this a good time to swap out the serpentine belt also? I didn't look too closely at the front of the engine to see clearances. But looks like it would be generally easy if you have a reason to already be in there. I believe our belt was changed out around 130K for a major maintenance...but I'm not going to dig through the docs to check on accuracy..
EDIT to answer my question: Yes, this is a good time to replace the serpentine belt too. Also, my pump was going out but I started with the $200 Honda high pressure line since that was obviously the major source of my leak. Pump kept whining after I had it together, so I went ahead and replaced it to. But, the air cleaner breather boot, split, so that was a third trip to Honda...a different one that had it on hand.
Excellent job.
I would love to see how you get that pulley bolt off, mine is not coming out without an impact
Really good job and clean 👍👍
Thank you for the video!! I am replacing my power steering pump this weekend and cannot find the pulley at a single part store anywhere near me. One part store told me that as long as nothing is wrong with the old one I can put it back on...??
Good job thank for inspirer me !!!
You're my hero. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for posting this video!
Thanks for the video.
Nice How-to video, as a tech for Honda though it only takes me 10-15 minutes tops.
It's really crazy how the same job can take 10 people 10 different amounts of time
Great video
Thanks for the visit
Great video, doesn't seem too difficult as long as you have the right tools. Will have to look for one of those swiveling ratchets. Do you have to bleed or flush the power steering once the pump is replaced or can you just fill up with fluid once the pump is replaced? Thanks again!
+James Cribb What I remember is that the service manual calls for the fluid to be flushed/bled and new fluid replacing the old.
I was using a long break over bar with a 12 point socket
I had the same problem on my pilot. FLUSH THE SYSTEM FIRST>Used a turkey baster and sucked all of the nasty dirty power steering fluid out of the reservoir. turn the car on for 5 seconds suck out more. turn the car on 5 seconds, suck out more. Then put in new HONDA premium Power Steering fluid. fill to upper level. turn car on for 5 seconds. put in more. Turn car on put in more. NO NOISE!!! NO PROBLEM... SAVED 600 Bucks mechanic wanted to charge me to replace power steering pump.
Hi Scott, I really like your video, straightforward and easy to understand.
I had a couple of questions.
I want to replace my power steering reservoir along with doing a fluid flush to see if it solves the stiff steering at low speeds that I'm encountering with my 2005 Odyssey. Once I've done that, if the problem doesn't go away I'm going to replace the pump as well.
Is there a second flush required with the pump replacement since the system is open to contaminants when the lines for the pump are exposed?
Also, I needed to replace the VTECH Oil Pressure Switch. I'm not entirely sure where that's located. I've kind of got an idea from forums and pictures in the Service Manual, but if its possible, could you show a short video on where the VTECH Oil Pressure Switch is located?
Thanks.
Mohammed Ansari only oil pressure switch I found is next to the oil filter. See page 8-6 in the service manual. I hope this helps.
how do you get the pulley off and on as there is nothing to counter force when turning? YOu did not show on the video.
What was the trick for loosening the pulley? I'm facing the same task with my '05 and I think getting that pulley off will probably take most of the time.
Good video Scott. Can one just by the o-rings to the pump?
Did you get vsa and check engine light after you did it?
Thanks for the video. Curious that you did not show either the loosening or tightening of the pulley bolt, which I thought would be the most challenging part of this. Why skip that part? You said we would have to figure that out.
I I stuck the handle of a break over bar in there to hold that pulley. Somebody else may have another tool.
Scott Stevenson Thanks.
I replaced my pump yesterday. Took 2.5-3 hours. There are about 5 things in your way from accessing the belt tensioner and pulley bolt. I have a metal line directly in line with the bolt on the upper tensioner pulley that you have to access to loosen the belt. That is what took me the most time. I could not put a socket if any kind on it. Used a combo wrench and piece of pvc pipe. Was a challenge.
yes good video. What about lubing the O rings first? You mentioned you weren't sure where the leak was and maybe it was the O ring. I sure would of tried replacing that $0.53 part first. lol
ty olsen I am gonna agree with you that 53 cents sure would have been cheaper. The van had 96k on it at the time of replacement. We use the heck out of it and the family depends on it. It has never left us on the side of the road yet. 109k and it still runs great.
I was thinking the same thing as Honda PS pumps traditionally last a good long time(waaaay past 96,000 miles) and the O-rings in the lines are a common cause of leaks.
Great video. Thanks. My power steering fluid is constantly leaking. I thought I'd start with replacing just the o-rings. Any concerns with that?
I could have done that too. I had already bought my pump so I just replaced it. The cost of just the 0-rings is quite a bit cheaper.
Is there a kit to remove and install the pulley?
HOW DID THE PUMP HOLD UP?
Any secrets or tips about not allowing the pulley to move so I can get it off and then back on?
I stuck the handle of a break over bar through the slots. Mine came off relatively easy. I am sure there is a specific tool for that but I don't have one. 110K miles and still running like a champ and it is just under 23 mpg.
Cool thanks!
It's called a breaker bar (not break over bar). Sorry , I was gonna ignore it the first time and then you said it again.
You can also take the serp belt off, and use a large strap wrench around the pulley. If you don't have a strap wrench, add one to your tool bin - they are inexpensive and time savers!
is the same as a Honda accord ex would you know? what I am reading that it is, but maybe you would know if the work is interchangeable?
Chad Payne I have not done an Accord. I would try to get a service manual or search for a video.
Nice video. Where did you buy the new pump from?
***** I bought it from a local auto parts dealer here, Spitzer auto. They had a Honda pump and it was cheaper than the dealership.
How much was it?
Did you use the OEM replacement pump of aftermarket? The OEM is so much more expensive...
I got my pump from a local parts dealer that had a Honda pump. As far as the price, I was happy not having to pay the dealerships' outrageous rate.
Wow only 96k mine has 221k
Yeah I know RIGHT mine has 211 and it just now STARTED leaking
you didnt show how easy it was to take that nut off that pully ... mine stock i heated it and the dam thing still wont come off..
Nice job, nice video. Thanks.
Thanks Brian...
