The pump whines every now and then so I figured its time for a new one. It looks relatively easy. What all is involved in swapping out the pumps?

Thanks

 

1.Drain the fluid.
2.Disconnect the inlet and return hoses.
3.Loosen the bolts.
4.Remove the belt.
5.Take the bolts out.
6.Remove the pump.
Once reinstalled it will be necesary to bleed it by turning the wheels back and forth a few times.

 

Where is the drain plug located?

 

just unbolt the line going to the pump ans let the fluid drain out.

 

ok, thanks

 

Why does it whine? Are you sure there is enough fluid in there? Are you sure that you put in only Honda Fluid? because other fluids will damage the pumps.

 

Actually to drain it you remove the upper hose on the reservoir and turn the wheels back and forth a couple times. that gets everything out. Sorry, I should have mentioned that before

 

Either way it's getting replaced right?
