Beautiful video and very helpful. The PS fluid in my daughter's 2009 Civic was filthy and a garage recommended a flush which would have cost Lord knows how much. I bought a 3-pack of fluid on Amazon, the tubing and fittings that you recommended, drilled a couple of holes in the lid of an empty vinegar bottle to catch the fluid (my rig was not near as well made as yours but it got the job done), and followed your steps from there. It was a quick and easy process, and it was very fulfilling to see all that dirty fluid come out and see the clean stuff in the reservoir. Thanks to videos like yours I'm able to keep the Honda running like a champ while saving a ton of $$. Keep up the good work!

I saved my power steering return line , and I used this old line to flush the old power steering fluid.

Excellent video. I wish I knew it was this easy several years ago. Just flush a 2007 Accord that had very dark fluid due to minimal changes. It needed 5.5 bottles of Honda Power Steering Fluid ( they each hold 12fl oz) to get it to a pale brown color. That was good enough for me. Reminder Hondas are very sensitive to particular fluids, therefore only use Power Steering Fluid by Honda!

My 2005 Civic has 194,000 miles and the fluid may be original. The steering was a little hard so for three bottles of fluid and 40 minutes of labor, I changed the fluid. The steering is definitely lighter so this was overdue. I used aviation grade alum tubing which snugly fit into the return line. Position the hose clamp and the old stuff came out easily. Instead of buying a pump, an old squirt bottle of Dial soap😁 evacuated the system. Thx Danny.

Thank you for this very informative video. You took yhe time to explain everything in a concise manner that a DIYer would understand. I would like your opinion about water pumps. I have a 2008 Civic and it's almost 200K miles and the water pump is original. There are no leaks and I have been changing the coolant on a regular annual basis. In your opinion, should I change the water pump now or wait until it starts showing leaks. I have been quoted $700+ to replace and I heard that Civic's water pump is very difficult to DIY.

Hello Danny, after the fluid changes to clear and you have topped off the PS reservoir, how did you remove the return tubing that was filled with PS fluid? and not make a mess?
