You did a great job brother don't sell your self short Awesome job brother
Im doing this job right now as of writing this comment and that hose gets stuck so easily its super frustrating. Been on this for like 4 hours now
Continuation of the previous comment. I was able to snake the replacement line through. it took me about an hour. I also removed the return line nipple and that was crucial for me to be able to tighten the pressure line. I was not able to reattach the 2 places underneath where the 10mm screws retained the line, and i used zip ties, hope they work long term. I also replaced the return hose, it was simple, about 3 ft 3/8in hose cost me $15.. i was not in a position to quibble about price. i was able to thread the pressure line nipple without a concern about cross threading.
I completed the removal and thought I would add some information. I did drop the subframe about 1/2-1inch. the 10mm bolt holding the line on the passenger side was rusted in place and i Had to use a sawzall to cut through the bracket and free the line. The 10mm bolt in the middle of the subframe came out easily with the harbor freight flex head ratcheting wrench. i did crush the metal PS pressure line with vise grips, but I still could not cut the line with cutters that fit in the small area. I ended up holding a hacksaw blade in my hand and reaching down and cutting for 15-20min till through. lastly, pay attention to the angle of the ratchet and extensions; i thought they were coming from the passenger wheel well, but they are actually coming down at about 45deg angle from top of passenger side engine compartment, towards the rear, I had to use a 24in breaker bar with 2-3feet of extensions and an impact wobble(dont use regular chrome, it will break) on a 19mm deep socket to break it lose. I also took off the PS return hose, and will probably replace it. I may also need to remove the return hose nipple because it seems like it would interfere with tightening the pressure line. lastly, I have changed the PS pressure line on an 02 mdx. in the end i needed to pull the whole rack because I was not able to align the PS pressure line nipple with confidence and did not want to cross thread, so that is always an option for this too. which would also result in me changing the rear motor mount as well since everything is accessible
I'm having trouble finding the part. Any suggestions?
Thank you!!! I went to 2 old skool top mechanics and they couldn't figure it out!
Nice video. I have a 08 Pilot. The steering is not that light as other
Pilots I drove. I changed the pump from 1A auto still nothing. Do you
think that the high pressure hose can make the steering stiff even if
not leaking?

I been wanting to do this ..,i have 2001 mdx is it going to be the same procedure ? And also you have mentioned that when you are in the process of putting that new hose in there you loosen that 2 bolts on the subframe did you do this before removing the old hose or just loosen it to have room for removing the old and putting the new one on..ill be doing this in a week my self it will be put on a jack stand ..another question how far did you loosen that 2 bolts on the driver side subframe? …,im afraid its going to fall off ..,thank you in advance
