Power steering O-ring replacement
I've been getting the typical power steering whine on my 2002 EX coupe. Plenty of videos on Youtube demonstrate how to replace the O-ring between the reservoir and the pump on various Hondas and Acuras, but not for this particular model.
It seems that this model has a different setup than most of the videos I have seen. The hose looks to be very hard to access.
So my big question is this: do I need to remove the pump in order to access the the hose and replace the O-ring?

Thank you for the reply. I'm guessing you're referring to the bolt on the front of the pump, as shown in your photo from another thread: https://www.civicforums.com/forums/3...ml#post4723246

Re: Power steering O-ring replacement
If you've seen videos showing other Honda pumps, they are all constructed in a similar fashion.
One inlet, one high pressure outlet, a pulley to drive the hydraulic pump inside the housing, and some way to mount it to the engine.
