Hello Hive,

I was wondering if anyone out there has had experience changing the high pressure hose on a 2.0 litre accord. It looks like there is quite a bit of room behind the engine to access things. My hose is starting to leak around the clamps and also the rubber is becoming porous and squirting fluid up onto the underside of the bonnet. I have duct taped it as a temporary fix as I drive only a few times a month but don't expect that solution to last very long at all. Looking at the lowest points on the hose near the rack behind the engine it would seem there are in fact two hoses going through a rubber mount. I ***ume the lower one goes off to a cooler in front of the engine. I was wondering if both need removal to undo the high pressure hose from this mount. I was also wondering if the solid metal part of the hose can be fed through what seems to be an aluminium part which goes to the engine mount or if this aluminium part needs to be loosened (and perhaps subframe dropped) in order to free the hose. What I'm really after here is whether this is a fairly straightforward job or if it is fairly involved with lots of nuts and hoses to undo. I would appreciate any feedback from people who have done this. If so, any aftermarket hoses to recommend as I don't wish to be skinned by Honda. Also, how much fluid needs to be bought from Honda to re-fill the system after replacing the hose? Is it a good idea to replace the pump at the same time (if so, any recommendations on aftermarket brands)?

Thanks,
Johann
