Sunsong 3401201 Power Steering Pressure Line Hose Assembly

I purchased this for my 2009 Odyssey and it fits Using no lift, I took about 3 hours to install it in my garage. The following suggestions could be useful It is easier to access the hose connection from the top rather than the bottom if you remove the air box/filter assembly first. Attached you will find a picture of where the connection is from the top looking down. Getting there is a bit challenging, but it can be done. Additionally, remove the passenger side front wheel so that the clamp on the underside of the van can be accessed. Due to those two things, I was able to remove the entire engine assembly through the wheel well of the passenger side and loosen the connection in the engine compartment. As well as installing it through the wheel well, I also inserted it inside the wheel With a lift, this job will be much easier, but it can also be done in a regular garage with just a few tools and a bit of effort. I used the following tools The following tools are required Jack/jack stands, needle nose pliers The hose clamps connected to the air box must be removed. The socket is 10mm in diameter The clamp bolts and hose connections on top of the engine require screwdrivers with flat heads or Phillips heads. The clamps / air boxes must be purchased separately. 14mm wrench with a square handle A hose is used to connect the power steering system. The 17mm wrench is provided as a reference. There is a switch on the hose for power steering.

My 2008 Honda Odyssey is stock, so I put this item on it. Spend almost two hours with my mother. After five hours of struggling with the old one, I could not get it To remove it, just screw it in and break down the tube near the pressure fitting on the underside of the car (bend it back and forth until the metal tube work hardens enough to break) and use a socket wrench to remove it. If you don't do this, you're going to find out that the metal flexes on the open end of the wrench, which will strip away the fitting's edges trying to get that darn thing off and you will just be dissatisfied. Although the rest of the removal/installation will go pretty smoothly, that part may be a bit of a pain. It has been a couple of weeks since I had to refill the power steering fluid reservoir now that it's been fixed. This is a win in my book.

As a result, my rating reflects the fact that it is a review of the part as a whole, despite the seemingly difficult installation process. The 2009 Odyssey would go well with it. With this car, it is impossible to reach the connector for the steering pump. The "line" wrenches were necessary to get a better grip on the fitting, so I bought those as well. more of a mechanical type, but I'm not the only one who needs to do the The second is to line up the threads and keep it straight on 2nd person to tighten it. The steering wheel is held by P, and she is the one doing it. It was easy to put the part on the fluid reservoir end and the fitting on the back of the engine, but it was quite difficult to get it onto the rack and pinion steering. Having a hard time tightening the part on the R-E was the problem I had with it The fitting nut had to be tightened with about as much force as I could exert on the P steering side. A good chunk of 3 hours went into that I estimated it took 4 hours to install based on the frustration I listed above. By the end of the fourth The leak started leaking within 5 days, and I was not dealing with it again for 5 days. Taking it to my trusted mechanic was the right decision. In a later call, he said he just backed it out some and tightened it down again. In his estimation, he got a quarter turn more out of it than I did. His fee was $50 for his time, which I appreciated very much.
It's been a while since there's been any updates On the R-shape there is a ring There is nothing to tighten on the P side of the fitting. Although I didn't strip the threads, as I swore would happen when I was using so much force on it, I still managed to do so. Perhaps the metal content of the part is pretty strong, since that would support that inference.

You should repair the vehicle. As original, with the exception that the steel line is painted black, which isn't really a big deal. It is very difficult to get a D on this assignment. It is hard to even reach this line without removing the air box and it cannot be done with the air box still on. It's time to hose down (from a top-down perspective)! My wife had to crawl underneath our van to give me an extra pair of hands she pushed and pulled in addition to pushing myself. My work involved laying on top of the engine (make sure it's cooled down first) to align the fitting with the steering box and screw it in (it took me about 50 attempts to get it There is no fault on the part of the seller. You need to be careful when tightening any of these fittings, as you might twist the line, strip the threads, or otherwise break the line. Upon completion and inspection, however, the new hose does appear to have a small leak It could be where the sending unit mounts to the steering column, or at the power steering box itself, so I will check those areas to see if I can "snug it up. ". The seller reacted defensively to my inquiry about someone else's line leaking following installation, which had prompted me to ask her about it prior to my purchase. " As a result, they lose a Star * for arguing their point. Now that the steering is working fine, I repeated the flushing process several times and refilled with Honda power steering.

After spending about two hours under the Van trying to get the connector to screw in, I gave up. It never occurred to me that a slight difference in the size of the fitting I'd noticed earlier would prove to be an important factor. After getting frustrated with this I eventually went to Autozone and bought the part from them - and that's when I actually noticed the It took me no longer than 30 minutes to install the proper Sunsong part in my car once I got it home, despite the fact that the threads of the Sunsong 340120 are just slightly shorter than the original part. Using the second photo, the 1st picture is of the original screw fitting and the 2nd is of the Sunsong 3401201 Power Steering Pressure Sensor. A hose and the part that I got from Autozone are shown in the third picture.
