Review on 🔧 High-Quality Power Steering Pump for 2005-2008 Honda Pilot, 2005-2010 Honda Odyssey, 2007-2013 Acura MDX - Replace OEM Part Numbers 21-5442, 56110-RGL-A03, 56110-PVJ-A01, 56110-RYE-A02 by Mike Walters

I have a 2009 Honda Odyssey EX-L with 210,000 miles on it. Last year I had the courage to do some car repairs myself as the car is obsolete and nearing the end of its life. First it was automatic doors, then brakes and rotors, and now power steering. The power steering has been making noise for a few years, but only in winter. I started searching YouTube and found a video about replacing just the o-rings at the high pressure hose connection to the pump. I did this and it fixed the noise for a while. The noise is back, but this time due to low power steering fluid. I found that my high pressure hose was leaking due to stains in the driveway and I could clearly see the hose flowing very slowly. I was about to change the hose. The part was under $100 at Revain, but accessing the hose clamps required tools I didn't have. I hesitated a little and refilled the power steering fluid about once a month. The steering just kept getting tighter and tighter and I really didn't have time to try to fix that hose. I took it to a mechanic and they replaced the hose for about $300 ($189 hose, $6 fluid, $90 labor and tax). The leak was fixed but the steering was still very stiff. The mechanic said I need a pump that I already knew. He told me it was $600 probably because the original Honda part is over $400. He told me "recommended" that the pump was easier to attach than the hose. He knew I had already done some work on the car so he decided I would give it a try. So I bought these from Revain for $70, watched a YouTube video for reference, and replaced the pump in about 45 minutes. It took so long because I had never had any experience moving a belt tensioner. Very easy installation with some confidence. I used turkey lube to clear the power steering fluid from the reservoir. I had to remove two 10mm bolts to remove the high pressure hose. I had to squeeze the clamp to remove the other hose. I had to loosen the belt tension with a ratchet and breaker to move the tensioner. I then removed the belt and removed the pulley from the pump with a 3/4 spanner. And then I removed two 12mm bolts from the existing pump. After that I removed the caps from the new pump and swapped the bolts and hoses to install it. It was the perfect match. I topped up the fluid, started the car and the problem went away immediately. The steering is ridiculously smooth, probably because I'm so used to the tight steering. So far, so good. I will update this review if there are any issues.
