Power steering hose started leaking on my '87 Accord Lx about 4 yrs. ago. Called local Honda dealer.
$300.00 + tax !!!!!!!!!!! for new dealer hose. Dealer tech told me to pull it and have it rebuilt by local shop that deals with pneumatics, etc. Cost me $47 versus $300 + tax.
Get into your local yellow pages and find a shop that does this.
It helps if you have ramps to put the front of the car up on. The hose side that connects to the pump is easy. It routes around back and down below. Lots of little hold-down brackets to be removed along the way. Not too hard.

why mantis, u need one? its usually the o-ring in there that craks and leaks, but the problem is, no one has ever had a prob with the leaking. its unsual in your case lester. go and pull one out from the yard, might cost u about 10 bucks max.
mine was leaking from the entire front part. where the red is highlighted in the picture.
Anyways, i got it replaced for $260 by my mechanic for parts and labor. he also said the dealer part is over $300.
Looking at it now, i probably could have replaced it easily myself with a junkyard hose.
later !
okay i hate when mechanics do that. its not big of a deal like taking off the bottom manifold bolts. damn... $260???? it would be like an hour and 10 bucks for the hose in the junk and u wouldhave done it all byyourself. me doing this efi conversion gets me into every nook and cranny of this car, man...... never ever gonna give my car to my mechanic cause right now, i can rip anything apart and PUT everything back together as they were.
ok it 's sold @ www.hondaautomotiveparts.comOriginally posted by Mantis88LX

Mine sprung a leak about fours years ago. I got a new one at NAPA for $26! Every other place I called didn't have it in stock and wanted over $100. I have to figure it was some kind of error in NAPA's system because it was a good quality, perfectly fitting piece.
When the guy at NAPA told me the price over the phone I said, "Are you sure that's the right hose," to which he replied, "Why does everybody ask that?"
It was kind of a bitch to replace, though.
well with the whole damn manifold in the way, there is no way ur getting under there to get it unhooked.
DBMASTER(Mike) - $26 for NAPA P/S Hose! You did very well! When I called them, the hose was about $135. That's why I had mine rebuilt. Contrary to what some think, these hoses do leak after they get old about a ft. to the left of where they connect to the P/S pump.

Lester, that's exactly where mine leaked! I pulled into the garage one day after work and could smell something burning, popped the hood and saw P/S fluid on the exhaust manifold.
Like I said, I think NAPA's system had an error in it because EVERY other place was $100+ (Auto Zone, O'Reilly's, and Pep Boys). I am just glad nobody had it in stock because NAPA was the last place I called. I find that, in general, the aftermarket parts that NAPA carries are a cut above what the other chains have.
Having the hose rebuilt is not a bad idea, either. All that goes bad is the rubber and most of what you are paying for with a new hose is the custom bent stell tubing and fittings.
DBMASTER(Mike) - I agree with you about NAPA. There after-market parts are way out in front of the trash peddlers like Auto Zone and especially Pep Boys. I'm finding that O-Reilly's is OK for some stuff, but not quite as good as NAPA.
Lester
Lester,
I have also found a couple of non-chain automotive stores in my area that carry good name brand parts. In most cases I am finding that places like Majestic Honda (hondaautomotiveparts.com) and Manchester Honda (manhonda.com) are actually cheaper than decent aftermarket sources, but when you need something right now...
