 Hello boys and girls welcome to another repair video. I've been working on this civic over here So I've been working on this civic over here. So this is an o6 Tech doc C and this is what I've been doing. I Propped up the engine just for safety. I'll explain later and I had to remove the rack and pinion along with the power steering pump and Almost all the hoses except the two hoses that go up to the power steering reservoir tank the little guy So here we got the old one and the new one The old one was leaky in a few places That's the main reason why It had to be replaced Right inside there. So the seals are gone Might as well replace the whole thing Anyways, so you do have to once you get it out and I'm gonna go through everything Once you get this thing out you need to switch this rubber Bushing I guess it was right here. So you just gotta switch that Take the outer tie rods out. So this is the nut. They were still good. So I'm gonna reuse them So I used night 2 19s and a 24 you can do this either Either while this is still on the car. It actually might be easier or if it's down It all depends on how rusty these ends are I actually didn't look on the ground and I had no issues and you got those hexes on Everything over here. So it's easy to hold on then what you do this rubber Dust cover I guess Just simply comes out and along with this yellow Whatever this you may want to call that. Okay, so The switching part is oh, yeah, and this nipple. So this nipple comes out here Don't over tighten this. There's no rubber seals or o-ring inside It seals up with this line. So that's all you gotta switch and as you can see the bolts are on top The whole rack just sits on top Here so there is the one bracket that holds it. So one hole here Let's this one here and the other one on this side here. That's here. So these are 17s These here are 14. They simply or this is actually this is 14. This is 17 okay, you don't need to remove these just loosen them up and Swing this over and then on the passenger side. It's just this and that's where that the rubber bushing comes in 214s on this one. So I guess we're doing reverse engineering So obviously you need to take this whole subframe down to get to the reckoning Why the main reason is because because of this this needs to slide down and there's no way you can tilt or Angle it whatever it needs to come straight down So the very first thing you do is You take the 10 mil bolt out of the shaft right here. So this is your steering shaft Okay, and then you can see on the bottom of it. There is a 10 mil bolt simply unscrew that and Just let it go. There's gonna be a Some kind of a plastic cover on it. So take that out. There's no bolt on this. It's just kind of like kind of clips in so slide that out Before that you obviously have to take this panel out. It just holds on on one little twist clip and then it just Kind of rips off gently. So once you have that bolt out just leave it alone It's gonna you have you you may want to once the subframe is coming down. You're ready to take it down Then you may want to kind of knock it so it breaks loose But probably not but just to make sure it doesn't hang on the steering shaft is what I'm saying then once that's out Make sure you tie up the steering wheel. Okay now it may not These sometimes they have some kind of a sensors some of these cars some don't some do but it's always good practice To do this Because if it does have some kind of a sensor, I don't know if that's this car does again But if it does and then by some reason the steering wheel goes turns 360 degrees and You'll notice you're gonna have issues So keep it steady As you can see if I were to take this down you could just spin it Endlessly so keep it in place. This is always good practice to do So that's the first thing you do then you're gonna want to raise it up so This area your your jack stands or whatever you're gonna be using is On the frame right here Nothing beyond that because you're gonna be working in this area over here and What I would what I did was I first took These long bolts Where are they these guys here? There's four and And these go right here Okay, these are very long What you do? You can loosen these up But what I always do in this in these kind of cases whenever I drop a subframe I loosen one up I take it all the way down out and I screw it back in You know four or five threads probably five and just leave it in and then I move on to the next one Then there's two in the front Which is right here So same deal take it fully out and then go in go back in five threads or so Then you got two bolts on the side here Okay, you're not taking these out. You're only loosening these up both sides Both sides are the same except for one thing this mount and over here That's just the one difference on the on the passenger side Is that mount so you're only listening these up and These two One here and one on the other side is right here. You see this notch. So you're not taking that out You're only loosening it up then you want to proceed and Loosen the two bolts that hold hold up the engine mount the bottom engine mount. There's two more on The very top on the on each side passenger and driver I still did the the safety bar just for for my own safety You probably don't have to do that because this is You know this engine and transmission will Stay in place with the engine mounts. The engine mounts are actually mounted on top So the the rubber whatever they're not stretching or anything like that But you know as a precaution I still use the bar and I only tied it up on one side this side of the bar Right on top. It's not tight. See this is not tightened up and this the engine did not move down at all Only the passenger side right here anyways You're gonna loosen these two up slowly because now the subframe will drop a bit and it's gonna hold on on the four remaining bolts on those five threads each and This whole thing. It's not that heavy. You can easily Lift it with two people or one big guy probably So this is where the engine mount is mounted Once that's out this thing Will come down now you're not removing you're not doing anything else now you're gonna proceed to remove the lines From the rack and you're gonna be working on this side over here And the reason why you want to drop it down is to get just you know a few inches of More room to work in Okay, it's gonna make your day easier and you're dropping the frame anyway So you might might as well do it this way then you got two lines going. Okay. This is the pressure line over here easy access, this is a 21 I believe which is this line here with the sensor if you're replacing this line this this pressure line You're gonna have to replace this Sensor and put this old one on your new line Right there So this you're gonna be able to get in there with your regular wrench and this line. That's the nipple undo the clamp I believe it was a 10 mil or a flat screwdriver and Luckily if you're lucky it's gonna be The screwed on the clamp is gonna be pointing out this way So it's gonna be again easy access take the rubber hose out. Don't worry about the nipple. You're gonna get it later and Slide it out You're gonna have power steering fluid coming down. Just catch it. What I did was I Undid these lines. I did what I just said yesterday evening and I let it drain overnight so once these two are out You're done. The rack is free of any lines and What nuts see it still? It's still leaking So once these are out you want to get your jack stands get them ready or whatever you're using And you want to undo these three There's a bolt and two nuts on each side holding the the lower ball joints over here and these are the guys in question So once the ball joint Brackets are loose Then you're ready to bring this whole frame down actually never mind There's gonna be we're gonna see it either the pressure line or the other line the return line will mount Right over here. So don't forget to take this out. That's a little 10 mil and there's gonna be one more up on the Frame somewhere. I'll show it later. So once you get the subframe Secure in my case. I'm raising the car up in your case if you're Raising the subframe down then you probably need a some sort of a bigger jack With some wood maybe or something So you're actually able to Lower the subframe if your car is on jack stands instead of on a lift So figure that out Slowly drop it make sure the ball joint brackets don't catch on the frame kind of I used a pry bar Pry it away shop that run it right in here and pry it out And after that you can slide it out or do whatever Switch those take the wreck out Like I did I like I was talking about in the beginning of the video Then it's just very simple Five minutes switch your outer tie rods don't I'm gonna put the outer tie rods Once the rack is on the car then once this is out you have all the room you can get to access the power steering pump and You're gonna have another mounting point For the return line right on the frame over here Don't forget to unplug your sensor from the pressure line These two I'm replacing this one. Also. I gotta still get it out from the Reservoir tank and as far as the parts. Oh, yeah, of course the belt It's a 19. You're gonna see a hex on long kind of a headbolt hex Sticking out from the top you're gonna see I'm not gonna show it because it's so obvious Somewhere down there. I don't know if you can see it, but it pushes towards the firewall Okay, that's how you remove the belt It's not easy Well, not in my case. Anyways pushing the the tensioner is what I mean Once you have the belt out the power steering pump is mounted on two bolts one on the bottom here the one on top Now you have much easier access to the top bolt From here if you're doing it right over here Imagine if this the subframe would be here then you would have to go from here most likely and that's gonna be a BH so this is what the power string pump looks like It actually mounts more or less Like this with the lines Sticking towards the back and down a bit or is it up can remember Anyways, and you do have easy access to take these out. You don't have to take This one out. It's also a hose so either the fitting or the holes either way you'll see what I'm talking about and The pressure line over here to 10 mil nut or bolts Take that out and you're free to go. Now the new pump did come with That fitting that I was talking about this one here, that's why you don't have to take it out it's either this nut here or The holes that's clamped on here, and that's it. Oh, yeah Just notice now that I have to switch out the Pulling and it looks like the pulley is held on by a nut Forgot to mention if you're doing the pressure line, you know, obviously switch the sensor from here to here and then you want to remember to switch the little brackets two of them from here to there and Here in the middle there. I had to cut the plastic loom out a bit to mount this bracket All right, then moving on to the return line this one's kind of tricky because the The metal line where it mounts to the or connects to the rubber holes Which connects to the reservoir tank is all the way up there see the Clamp there so obviously No way I can take it off from here Well, maybe if I had a different rack Like a proper rack, you know what I'm saying? but this All this is in my way right now. So I cannot this is as far as I go So what I'm thinking I'm gonna remove it from the tank pull it out put the new one on fish it up and Connected back to the reservoir tank. So that's what I'm going to do right now and We'll see if it works. Okay. So what I've done is I took this bracket out that holds the the AC line in from Right there. It's a 10 mil then push it up and away Then also there's a it's holding on on this plastic Bracket or clip whatever you want to just pop that open and push it up Then you can you have more room simply pull this reservoir tank up and there's the clamp Okay, guys, so we got this is what came out Out of this end Right here. So it looks like we're missing some stuff because all I got is this hose here by the shape of it it looks like Goes on here, but it's the end is too long. So I might as well shorten it up a bit Or reuse that one, I don't know That one looks all right This is the reservoir part it and this is the recon opinion and But but by the length of it it looks like it may fit Right here. So this is the right length, but You know, well shape-wise Besides this band over here I do have a hose Which I can use this is for this is just a high heat rubber hose For this band it would be probably too much seal. It's gonna kink For that one, maybe but I'm gonna probably reels for sure reels this one put this one right over here And this one this one was leaky over here. There wasn't another clamp On here. So this was a leaky hose for sure. It might as well be the The old clamp over here can't tell for sure I may just end up using two clamps on the end of this hose. Yeah, because this band This is gonna be a bit Bit much Well, maybe it might work This is a three-eighths by the way. Yeah, this might work actually. Yeah, I'm gonna end up cutting this to length and just Bend it up to avoid any future leaks All right, let's get to it Fed the line up this line. There is a that little bracket that holds on the short ten Put that in hold it in place so the line doesn't fall Then I had I actually took this support bar off and the engine did not budge. So that was that was for nothing You can see these are Pretty solid mounts and it's resting on the frame actually As I was saying before and that's the same on both sides Anyways, so Mount the clamp on the hose put this back on and That plastic there and that's it. That's all you're doing up top So now I'm gonna install the rack onto the subframe and then the subframe to the car You're gonna watch me do it. Let's cue the music. All I gotta say is the top bolt is It's fun. Yeah, it's just let's just leave it at that. So as you can see so after I mount the pump You can see this hose And actually you're not gonna see it, but it's pretty self-explanatory There's a two plastic clips that's gotta go in This rubber one and this one Then this the one the line that I made mounts with the 10 mil right to the frame Then you got your pressure line holding on don't forget the o-ring inside here and Make sure you lubricate every single o-ring you find that you gotta put on Always use a little bit of oil if it's gonna if you're gonna try and go and dry You're gonna rip some stuff apart Yeah, so Two 10 mil bolts this holes just slips on and clamps down down and That's it two 12 mil bolts on the pump Then this pressure line mounts right on the intake manifold right up there. Don't forget your sensor and These I'm kind of gonna just gonna leave them here hanging. So now we're actually finally ready for the subframe Another as you can see this actually wasn't that difficult at all. It's just a lot of walk-in back and forth as you raise or lower the car whatever your case may be and Checking checking if things are aligned. So this is what it looks like now Lines are connected. You know before you get too close body to the subframe make sure These lines are ran properly. Okay, because you're gonna have to if they're not you're gonna end up Separating them again because they are solid so this is your number one concern as you bring the two closer together and Yeah, I mean I am Under spot, but these lines are not original especially the I had trouble with the pressure line It the bends were not right and it took me a while to get this fitting in there I had to bend the lines in several places Just took a little longer and make sure that the Rubber plastic the plastic woman. It's away from the Exhaust so as I raise it up. I have still What about an inch and a half maybe two This part here will still I don't know if you can see that The plastic loom there will still go a little bit farther up away from the exhaust from downpipe here and This rubber boot All you got to do is make sure it's in its spot It doesn't go inside the firewall. It just kind of rests against it So as long as this is in the right spot you need to worry about The boots any longer. I could not mount this Line over here because this clip broke. So just zip tie that Should be okay. All I got left is tighten those big bolts up and then the final two One on each side over here and then the outer tie rods and then No need to worry about this Now What you do the yellow thing There you position it in a man in a manner. So The notch goes in here. Okay, just a kind of eyeball it should be fine and then you don't need to worry about Positioning this the steering shaft. All right. So this is so this just moves up and down so you gonna move it all the way up and simply Lower it and attach it to the splines there Actually, I can do that right now No, I can't cuz I'm gonna have to raise this up. So I got yeah, okay, so that's the last thing I'm gonna do Careful, don't pull this all the way out All right. So you saw me Pushing the shaft. I switched the yellow Alignment thing whatever I took it out of the reckoning and I put it back on the steering shaft Figured and then just aimed for it with the steering wheel straight Remember now remember I had to adjust the reckoning on the floor because it was it was way off It was probably a half a turn maybe even more Out from the original one. So I just did that. So now I'm gonna check if I have the same amount of turns Both all the way both each way left and right. So this is this is centered right now So I'm gonna go a full turn left. That's one full turn and then let's see. So a bit more than a quarter I'm gonna go back to center and go right one full turn and then We do have a little bit more. So going left was about here. So now we have this much more. Whatever. That's fine All right getting closer So as far as alignment goes Here I kind of eyeballed it with the wheels off, but I can see that this part of the Rotor is going out. So I got tow out Going on in on the left side and this is going in so I need to I Need to adjust or the owner and never mind it fell out. What? What's oh, I forgot to put the nut on. Okay, never mind Put nut on the tie rod Okay, I'm gonna tighten these up and Then do the adjustments, but what I'm gonna do I'm gonna fill it up with power steering fluid. Actually, let's do that right now I was gonna fill it up with power steering fluid and I forgot about the belt. So that's what I'm gonna do right now So I'm gonna fill it up with the engine off. You want to run the pump for dry for too long Okay, so actually it's all the way up right now I'm gonna go inside and turn the steering wheel left and right all the way both both sides both ways several times And it's empty Repeat the process. It's actually full right now empty again. Oh, never mind never mind. I was lying It's actually full. Okay, so I'm actually gonna cap it at this point because it sometimes likes to shoot out the fluid that is and Started So I'm sure you've noticed Or it should be obvious by now did turn the wheel steering wheel a few times again I'm gonna check the level and we're about One third down so Need more fluid those two bottles so far. This is what I'm using Now I'm gonna start again raise it up and check for leaks. Oh, no Just kidding We are looking good no leaks What so ever These actually came out pretty straight If you're gonna adjust the the inner tire rods on here, this is a 13 by the way Make sure you don't take the rubber boot with it. Sometimes the rubber sticks to the to the rod and You end up ripping up the boot. So if that happens Loosen this up or simply stick a flat small flat screwdriver in there and spray some PB blaster or WD 40 Whatever you got oil, whatever So it slips on the rod I'm gonna have to tighten this up Throw the wheels back on and I'll take it for a test drive. Don't forget car pins. Okay guys taking the stroll The brakes are shot in this thing. It's been sitting for a while. Anyways But you got power steering no leaks But it wasn't like that at first Actually, I while I had it raised up You Already told you this you fill up fill it up with the engine off Turn the steering wheel left and right several times Put the seatbelts on Then you do the same with the engine running Keep filling filling the reservoir up Keep turning all the way left and right and that wasn't enough in my case. I lowered the vehicle and was ready to go test it out and There I had no power steering at all. No No noise, you know, no famous noise that's kind of a grind wine from the pump and At first I started thinking maybe I have a clog somewhere But I checked online. It's supposed to take three quarter or three. I'm sorry 1.1 quart or Somewhere near that about three twelve ounce bottles and Before I put in two bottles. So that wasn't enough. So I Managed to what I did was The basically the power steering pump was there was air in it and I need to Kind of force it So you want to raise the vehicle up rev the engine up and keep turning the wheel Heard the pump go off a few times, you know, it gave me that little wine here and there the Fluid level went down right away. I knew that you know, I need to bleed it more So did that two or three times filled it up and now we got power steering Mission accomplished All right, guys, this concludes this repair video, I hope it's gonna help you out if it did I need you to subscribe Don't know like the video dislike the video and I'll see you soon
