Power Steering Pump Overhaul/Rebuild 2002 Honda Odyssey

This is a detailed video of my procedure for performing a complete overhaul and rebuild of the power steering pump on a 2002 Honda Odyssey. At 178,000 miles, it developed a leak and I decided to attempt an overhaul on the pump rather than buying a replacement. I purchased a repair kit online from Rock Auto for around $20 including shipping. Since a quality rebuilt/remanufactured pump can cost upwards of $200, I thought it was worth a try.

The repair kit which included all of the o-rings and seals was a Gates brand, part #348527.

With the right basic tools and some patience, it is not a very difficult job.

UPDATE: The leak was not with the pump after all. This project was a worthwhile attempt at fixing the problem and I enjoyed learning about the process of overhauling the pump. However, the leak was actually in the high pressure hose. Here's my follow-up video on what turned out to be the ultimate fix.
