hi guys, i have a real small leak on what I think is called the "high pressure feed hose" on the pw steering pump. Its the large hose that goes behind the engine. I tries to seal it with oil resistant rtv but it didn't work. If I ever needed to replace it, how would I do that? And might there be a guide for such a task?

Thanks.

 

Holla at me, is there not anyone who knows about how to fix or replace that gigantic hose on the pw steering system?

 

Year of the car?

It's only under pressure when the car is on. Should be pretty straightforward assuming you can reach engine-side bolts.

 

Its a 91' accord lx wagoneer.

 

This is the hose i'm talking about. They are pretty high up too, 73$ for this one,

 

Ah haha. That's not to difficult. Just requires patience and the ability to be under the car as well as over it

You will need a flare wrench set...it's probably gonna be a 14mm for the engine side bolt. Don't try to use an open end wrench it'll probably strip the bolt. I haven't looked to see where it attaches..it's probably going to be a tight squeeze at the rack. But if you use a flare wrench you should have no major problems getting the bolt off...when you eventually make room to get to it.

 

If I had to guess, I'd say you're going to need to get it from on top. Just a guess tho.

 

It can be done from up top. Just kinda of a bitch reaching down through everything. And yes, yes a flare wrench. If you don't. Like holmesnmanny said, you are going to be a very pissed off person

Hey i am experiencing leaks of power steering also. i cant seem to find where from though. heres the story. i just recently purchased my car. the battery on it was dead so i have to purchase a new one. but anyways as i was going to put it in my garage i wouldn't start because obviously the battery was dead so i turned the key and put the car on neutral and pushed it into my garage. i noticed a huge puddle of fluid opened the hood and my power steering reservoir looked like it over flew. it was covered in fluid. after that i start up the car and there is a leak somewhere. i tried looking for it but cant find it. should i replace the feed hose and return hose.? or should i try leak seal first.?

 

Those stop leaks are a gimmick and may just buy a short amount of time. Just do it the right way so you can try to avoid damaging your pump.
