Step by step guide in removing and replacing the high pressure power steering hose on Honda/Acura CL 3.0 VTEC Engine. Similar procedure on Honda Accord VTEC engines. *** As of upload date, could not find another KZitem demo video about this topic on the Acura CL, so please excuse the extra detail as I want to make it as realistic and informative as possible for anyone doing this procedure!

VIDEO HOSE INSTALL DETAILS continued...
This video was done on a 1997 Acura CL 3.0 L. This is one of the harder vehicles to do this job simply because of the difficulty in removing & feeding the stiff metal line hose into place. Accessing the fittings on either end of the P/S hose is actually pretty easy on this model. To complicate matters there are similar looking line fittings on the underside of the car and it took some inspection to determine which was which, as you cannot easily follow the hose from entire end to end with your eye when it is installed on the car. On the CL, the correct end fitting is shown in this video and easily accessed from atop the engine compartment, NOT from under the car as on some other models. On some Accord model years, removing the lower line is considerably harder as you will need a long extension ratchet and either a crow's foot or flange socket, (but the hose assembly is easier to extract from the Accord once ends are loosened). You will not need either of these special tools on the CL as the lower hose end is easy to access from the engine compartment near the lower driver's side behind the engine with a simple open end or hex wrench. (So in a sense, the Acura hose is easier to access the fittings but harder to entirely extract, and the opposite of this is true on many Accords). The video shows optional steps of removing the canister and a few other odd parts from firewall to make access easier on the Acura CL. On the CL we also found it created more access room to loosen but not remove the cross-members under the car. This is probably not necessary on Accord and if you are lucky enough to not have to do this on your CL, then fantastic. I suspect there is a little more room to work around on the smaller 2.3L CL engine so you may not need to remove and loosen everything we did here. Anyway enjoy the video hope this is a big help to someone!
