      My 2008 Honda Pilot, with J35Z1 engine, has power steering fluid leaking from driver’s side tie rod end dust boot. I intend on removing the rack. My question is has anyone done this particular job before without the special tooling Honda calls for and how you accomplished it? :dry: Is it easier to replace the End Seal only?

            Hi, I tried the link posted by College Man and it did not work. I would check with Honda first-there were many power steering related issues across their product lines 2007-2009. Many of these problems were not recalls but rather “customer support” issues. If a customer had a problem that was known by Honda AND they ASKED if there was any help that Honda could give then the dealer MIGHT be kind and do the repair as a courtesy (while billing Honda for it). I’ve had SOME success searching the internet for this info but it has been hit and miss. Good Luck!

              Honda helped me with my rear engine seal replacement and I was pleased. They might help again.
