POWER STEERING PLUMBING/BLEEDING

Fig. 17-b

Fig. 17-a

A. Loosely attach the power steering pressure

hose to the remaining power steering fitting.
With the original O-ring installed, slide the
original power steering fitting into the other end
of the fitting.

B. Install the fitting in the receiver in the mounting

bracket top plate. Use the two threaded holes
in the top plate that provide the best hose
routing. Secure using the supplied 1/4-20 cap
screws. (See

Fig. 17-a.) Rotate the 90

fitting

for the best hose routing and tighten fitting.
(See

Fig. 17-b.)

C. Reattach the factory power steering return

hose to the power steering pump with the
original clamp.

D. Fill the power steering reservoir to the upper

level line. Bleed the system by starting the
engine and running it at a fast idle while
turning the steering wheel lock to lock several
times. Recheck the fluid level.

Close the hood slowly. If interference occurs, it

is most likely the steel part of the power steer-
ing tube hitting the hood bracing. Bend the
tube down until there is clearance.

CAUTION:

The Honda Shop Manual recom-

mends using only Honda Power
Steering Fluid -“V” or “S” as any other
fluid can cause poor performance
and increased wear.
