Has anyone ever removed the power steering hose that goes from the pump back around the engine and down to the axle. I can see how to disconnect the end on the pump, but how do you disconnect the other end? I dont care what year your car is or even the model. I have this problem with my accord, but my prelude has the same setup.

 

Typically[Accords In General] the hose turns into a pipe and is held on to the rear subframe by 1-2 mounts with rubber bushings in them, then it turns sharply and attaches to the valve body of the P/S rack.
Majestic honda has online parts break downs that might be of help to you.

 

OK, yeah I see where it goes down into a upside-down "u" shaped deal on top of I guess that is the subframe. So it goes past this? I could not see it well on the majestic honda site, but I went to the parts store and had them show me a new hose, looks like it bends around a lot at that other end and has some kind of screw on that end. If it goes past the subframe do I need to get under the car to unscrew it, how easy is this to do?

 

Does anyone know how it connects under the car

 

theres a thread about it somewhere

 

I've looked, but have not been able to find one. I found the unit under the car, I just need to know how to get the hose out.

 

the rubber high pressure hose turns into a hardline setup and attaches via flarenut fitting to the steering rack

 

Yeah I got it off the stearing rack, but it is attached to the sub frame by a large bracket, does that come of or do you have to feed the line back out of that.

 

Ok that is one son of a bitch to get out. I got it out and for thouse who search in the future to figure out how to do this... Once you unscrew the hose at both ends you can't just pull it out you have to remove two brackets that sit on top of the sub frame behind the engine. You also have to pull two rubber hoses that prevent you from pulling out the PS hose. The problem here is I do not know what those hoses are for and fluid begins to flow out of them. If they are break lines... there may be problems.

This is my question, what are those two hoses, they sit on top of the subframe behind the engine, they are black rubber and are maybe 1/2 and 3/8 in diameter. They plug into a white plastic tube setup. Does anyone know what this is for??

 

You can pull those hoses. I just changed my power steering pressure hose on my 87 Accord the other day. I pulled the hoses. A little power steering fluid comes out of them, nothing major (assuming you already drained the system). I had a hard time trying to get those brackets off the subframe. I had to remove the air intake/air filter housing to get better access from the top of the car. I would certainly suggest getting someone to help you take it out and put it back in. You will need someone at the top and someone at the bottom to manipulate the hose because of the bends. Good luck.
