After my timing belt, my power steering pump went. So I know I need a ps pump. I heard an odyssey pump fits from some of my reading on the forum, has anyone done that? Or what do most of you guys usually do if not that.

You could try to find one that will fit but honestly a new or remanufactured one from oreillys or whatever parts store you perfer is probably your best option. They will come with any o-rings or gaskets needed for the installation and that way you will have a warranty. I know oreillys "import direct" brand has lifetime warranties most of the time. Good luck

Buy the bearing and o-rings from acura for 20 bucks and rebuild it yourself It takes all of 10 min to do on a work bench

100%.

There's a great video on YouTube of a guy and his girlfriend rebuilding theirs. In fact, she does most of the work.

Any link link to the video? Would be interesting to see. Couldn't find it when I searched.

I found the video, now time to find the parts, his link doesn't work to findAcura TL parts.

Anyone have the part numbers by any chance?

Found the kit at orielly but it's $12 shipping for a $22 part.
Anyone have coupon codes or another place I can order

Here is the link for the kit
MasterPro Power Steering Hose 8930 - Power Steering Repair Kit | O'Reilly Auto Parts

And here is the video for replacing it.

I know that tightening the belt too tight will cause the PS pump to go out (I see you mentioned you just replaced the timing belt, maybe the PS belt got adjusted too tight?)

I just did my timing belt but I'm not sure how to adjust PS belt tension exactly without the tension tool the shop manual calls for. What do others do?

Buy only the OEM honda o-rings. they will have the best fitment and will prevent a headache.

If you have a fish scale that will work too.

Have the part numbers or any idea? When I call parts Dept they say buy a new pump and don't rebuild it

When it costs $120 per hour to work on a car at a shop or dealer, a lot of things start to not make sense anymore in the silly mechanic-land. Like spending a few bucks and some time to rebuild a pump instead of pulling it off and putting a new one on for ~$300. Ding, next customer!

If it's merely leaking at a seal then you're green-light for rebuilding it. If you pull it apart and it looks like pieces of metal have been scoring/scratching the whole works up or there are cracks/etc then buy a new pump.
