Power steering pump replacement

[Olly232]

The power steering pump on our recently purchased 2004 2.0 manual Accord is making an awful racket so I aquired a replacement from a 2007 auto model. The part numbers are slightly different (56110RBAE01 and 56110RBAE02 for the newer one) and the only physical difference I can see is that the inlet pipe is in a slightly different position. Does anyone know if the newer type should work OK or not before I try it out?

I could post some photos but not sure if I am able to yet with having a low post count.

Thanks

Well I can answer my own question now. Yes the later pump fits and appears to be operating correctly. The only apparent difference being the inlet pipe for which you need the later longer version as I suspected. For the time being I have tied up the fluid container in a position for the existing inlet pipe to reach. I need to either buy the later pipe (53731SEAE00) or make one.
