Finger Lickin' good

power steering fluid doesnt need to be replaced. But in anycase, cant help with links, but I know its not hard to do. Located the power steering pump. Think above a/c compressor. There are 2 hoses that feed into it, top is blowing fluid, bottom is sucking fluid. Disconnect the bottom one, prepare from spillage. Several quick cranks should clear all fluid out. Dont forget about the power steering resivior. Fill up all fluids, bleed, fill fluids, bleed repeat till no air bubbles are in the system.

err something. ask patgsr hez da man.

::IMPORTANT::

There is power steering fluid and "Honda" power steering fluid. Don't ask me why, but Honda is the only company that has their own kinda P/S fluid. You can get the kind for Honda's at any ol car parts store. Make sure you use that as regular fluid can mess up your system.

forgot about that. Honda Hick is absolutely right, you should buy the PS fluid (brands vary by chain - I think Autozone uses Coastal, Pep Boys has one in a greenish bottle, and Honda/Acura have Honda branded fluid, etc) that says PS fluid for Hondas/Acuras. If you look on the back of any other PS fluid bottle it will say 'Not Recommended for Use on Honda/Acura Vehicles'.
