I searched entire youtube. i think only you did video on power steering
pump seal replacement. i found few but not detailed to this extent. you are
unique..

1) One of my friend have power steering pump growling noise(honda accord
98). when i open the cap of pump i see foaming and air bubble.
2) I tried many methods to remove air from system.. like mityvac, then dead
end to dead end.. no use..
3) Can you tell me if growling noise can come only from pump and not from
rack.
4) If pump(based on this video, which part cause the growling noise)..
5) do u think if pressure testing power steering pump is ever needed. I
thought of bying the tool, but dont see any one using it.
6) you have changed some of the seal that is not exposed out, (meaning it
is inside the pump), so why do u want to change that, i know there should
be a reason, but like to know why.
7) can a bad power steering fluid will ruin the pump, if so which part goes
bad, any clue..

SORRY asked too many questions, because i found only this video in entire
site that explains about power steering pump.

thanks for uploading,i see you take care of your hands.but no safety
goggles.
be wise my young friend protect them.

Michael Butler says:

can you do a video on how to change rack and pinion on this accord?

4frodo says:

Busho, thanks for posting this video. Again, you’ve saved me a load of
cash. So far it’s working like a charm. I think I noticed a little fluid
under the pump after running the car for a bit. I’ll check again today
after wiping it clean to make sure it’s not left over from installation.
The only thing I can think of is the shaft seal. I noticed after firmly
tapping it into the shaft that the side with the writing on it was flush,
but it seemed there was still a gap between the metal housing and the other
side (with the spring). I’m realizing it’s impossible to explain in a
comment. Do you know if it’s leaking right off the bat or will it take a
few days to notice a leak? 

Dean Abatte says:

Is this the same for a 2003 Honda Accord?

Richard Sautell says:

not often i hear an American using Metric tools and bolts, Metric is better
anyway 

Law Edison says:

awesome awesome video man

Ivan Leal says:

thanks for the videos man. i have the same problem

Abdulhamid Al ansary says:

Thank you very much, man
I have benefited from this video greatly benefit as you do it step by step
Thank you again

Danny Perez says:

Great video mate’. It was very informative and easy to comprehend.

Michael Dowling says:

Just so you know, I have been having a heck of a time doing this due to
trying to get that center seal removed out from that tiny little hole. You
are the first to show and make such a simple suggestion on how to remove
the seal, THANK YOU! Off to repair tonight.

bsdubois says:

Does Honda of America provide a reseal kit containing all the needed “O”
rings and the one seal or do you have to look up and order each part? We
have a 1997 Accord EX 4 Cylinder VTEC with about 177K. I noticed several
oil wet spots on the power steering pump. The pump makes no noise. I will
order the needed parts and reseal the power steering pump. Thank you for
an excellent video! Your video has a great close ups on the area of
dis-assembly/cleaning/parts replacement and reassembly. The exact amount of
detailed instructions necessary and you don’t waste time on the obvious. 

Thundagoose says:

Hey awesome vid, I will be doing this in the near future. One question
though, how do you go about replacing the bearing if it turns out to be
bad? Does it just press on to the shaft?

gr8fuldawg95 says:

Great video. Thanks! I have one question. Would you recommend replacing the
fluid completely when doing this repair?

abarba399 says:

Great video! Exactly what I was looking for. I am about to do this on my 02
TL-S the pump is very similar. How would I replace the bearing without
damaging the shaft?

jonnychadootz says:

Nice vid, very informative. Would any1 happen to know if it is the same
procedure/parts for a 97 prelude ps pump? Looks like its about that time
for me as well.

pwfcpwfc says:

Hi , Thanks for the video(s), very well done , real step by step DIY
video(s) , will you planning to do any video on Toyoto car (Rav4) ? your
videos are big help to me, or anyone want to save some money to do it by
themselves .Thanks again.

Michael Dowling says:

Seriously, I NEVER comment on videos. I am pretty handy and have a fully
stocked workshop but was beating my head to do this on an H22 PS pump.

I can say I used a smaller diameter screw driver and just got the seal out
in all of one minute.

YOU SIR are the man!


mrviter1 says:

Very nice video, do U THINK I CAN CHANGE THE PUMP BACK COVER O RING WITHOUT
REMOVING THE PUMP FROM THE ENGINE?

diulaylomochohai says:

As usual. Typical top quality Bushougoma videos.

Great DIY and info.

DasKrak says:

Very well done! You obviously know what you’re doing mechanically, and
your camera work is just as good. I’ll be watching more of your videos.
Very professional and informative. I’ll be doing this this weekend.
Thank you!

mrviter says:

Nice Video, do you think i can change the pump cover o-rings without
removing the pump from the engine?

Chad Smith says:

Just did this on my 2000 Accord EX 4-cyl. As mentioned in the comments
below there’s a few less parts, but the basic design is the same. A few
less o-rings as well. I was able to get the back cover o-ring off and
replaced without taking the pump ‘innards’ apart, which simplified it for
me. There’s no spring which helped. Thanks so much for posting this
video.

blackericdenice says:

My sister was 1 of those people who think only Honda people can fixed them.
I’ve change her mind after fixing many things on her 96 Accord.

PETER MOSS says:

Just a thought while your at it check the power steering cooler right in
front of the radiator mine was as rotten as a pear ,i got one from the
breakers yard for £6.50p i had to pop the front bumper off but there you go
its a Honda ! 

mrviter1 says:

Sounds good, thanks for your help.

mrviter1 says:

Sounds good, thanks

Bushougoma says:

No they don’t sell a kit you’ll have to order each part individually. I put
the parts list for 94-97 Accords in the description.

Bushougoma says:

Since I take it the new rack included new inner tie rods check the outer
tie rods for play. With the vehicle off the ground grab the wheel on the
left and the right and wiggle. Repeat the process up and down to check the
ball joints. Movement in both directions may be coming from the wheel
bearings. Check all of the suspension bushings for damage. If the vehicle
seems to pull only when braking I’d check the brake system. You had an
alignment done after the rack was swapped right?

nap2487 says:

Hello! great video. one question, I tend to have loose steering sometimes,
it has play. I had a steering rack swap with a remanufactured unit. can the
pump be bad? or a sensor or the preasure regulator? sometimes the steering
is lose and the car changes direction without me turning the wheel. all
suspension components and wheels and tires are new. any ideas? thank you
very much, keep up the good work!

Bushougoma says:

They’re made by Lisle part number 38220. Honestly I only use them nowadays
in tight quarters where my 3/8″ impact won’t fit. Once you buy an impact
you won’t go back to hand tools for pulley removal.

tubejim101 says:

Great video. Do you know if this would be the same for 92-00 Civics and
90-93 Accords? What torque wrench and snap ring pliers are you using?

Bushougoma says:

No the 90-93 Accords utilize a gear pump totally different design. 94-97
Accords use the rotor and vane style pump shown in the video. 98-02 Accords
also use a rotor and vane type pump but it was redesigned which reduced
the parts count. Disassembly to remove the pump shaft and o-ring
replacement inside is the same. But on the outside there are less o-rings
to replace due to the new design. I think the snap ring pliers are from KD
tools. I bought them a long time ago.

tbz02 says:

Where did you get those pulley pliers?

jparmz55 says:

also would it be the same for 99 accord. looks identical. and did u get all
the o rings and gaskets in a kit from honda?

Bushougoma says:

Actually the pump is different past 1997 they redesigned the it and reduced
the parts count. There are less seals to replace inside the pump you still
have 3 seals. On the outside the control valve plate was replaced with a
threaded plug which has an o-ring on it.
