Ray asked:

I’m not a mechanic, but I’m mechanically inclined. Can a non-mechanic, with basic tools change a power steering pump in an 89 Honda Accord? Has anyone done it and if so any pointers?
Thanks for the response! The part that worries me a little is getting the belts tensioned correctly. Any tricks or special tools required?

    Yes, 2 hoses and a few bolts.
    If it has a serpintine belt use a 3/8″ or 1/2″ ratchet to release the belt tensioner. Dan

    Its actually fairly easy. Its what’s called R&R, just Remove and Replace.

    Use Google to search for your specific vehicle.

    Something like on this link. AL M

    yes it is vairy easy power steering up is located on right hand side of engine at the top just loosen off tensioner undo two power steering hoses and fit new pump when fitting new pump it would also be a good idea to check for cracks in pwer steering pump belt when tightening belt just make sure the adjuser is done up enough that it takes the slack out of the belt and when you put the vehicle in full lock it does not squeel Troy
