The question can you get a new one in. you can always cut the old one up enough to get it out. In the past, I've skipped the factory hose and put in a completely flexilbe one. You can have flexible hydraulic hoses made up at most truck shops. The only thing critical is the end connectors. You might even be able to save the old ones and splice in a hose.

SOURCE: My power steering is heavy after the dealer

This does not solve your problem, but perhaps power in numbers will help. I have had 2 steering racks replaced on my 2006 TL. Acura is not claiming any defects, but the steering is extremely difficult to turn. Hardly even feels like I have power steering. I'm upset because I had to pay for the 2nd rack just 14 months after the 1st one was replaced. I expected more from the Acura brand!

SOURCE: how do i remove the radion on a 200 acura rl

You cann't remove only radio you have to remove whole panel which contains radio.

There are two possible scenarios for you car radio panel


1. Your car can have Navigator, Climate Controller and Radio.

2. Your car can have Climate Controller and Radio.

You have to open whole panel.

This Panel contains some of SRS components, so have to be very careful while removing it!

Need help with installing the high pressure power hose on my Acura 2002 RL
I assume you are talking about the high pressure power steering hose? It's not that hard to do. Start at the pump and remove the end of the hose. It's bolted to the pump. Follow the hose down the frame and remove the bolts holding the retaining clips. Save them! You'll need them for the new hose. Way at the other end of the hose is your rack and pinion. It's a little tough to unscrew the pressure fitting. Use a tubing wrench or crowfoot wrench on your ratchet. Install the new hose starting at the pump and reattach all the retaining clips, making sure you orient the new hose just as the old one was. Last screw in the pressure fitting to the rack and pinion. There may be an o-ring you need to put on this end before you install it. Look for one in the package your new hose came in. When done and all fittings tight, refill power steering fluid reservoir and start engine, Turn steering wheel all the way left and right several times, this will bleed air from the system. Check for leaks, if none, you're done. Check you tube for videos before you begin, they can be very helpful!

How to bleed power steering fluid of 97 Acura 3.0 CL
This all assumes you don't have a leak somewhere.
There are two lines on your power steering pump. One is going to the steering box, and one is coming back from it. The outlet hose has a bolt holding it, the inlet hose just has a clamp. pull the hose off that has a clamp and put into a can or something that can catch the fluid. Make sure you fill the reservoir all the way. While you are out of the way, have someone start the car, and be ready to turn it off. Let it pump fluid and then add new fluid. Do this until it is coming out clean. Put it back together and run it, then check the fluid level again. PLEASE ONLY USE GENUINE HONDA fluid, it really does make a difference. That may be why it is making noise.l

How to fix power steering rack leak
If the rack itself is leaking, usually fluid is coming out of the bellows, because the shaft seals are leaking. These can be resealed, but finding a shop with the ability outside an Acura dealer might be hard. Rebuilt racks are available thru Acura and aftermarket, I found 1 for $486.95. Look around you may find something more reasonable. This will require an alignment, you may have to replace 1 or both tie rod ends. Make sure your RL is in condition to do an alignment so you don't get any surprises. On a vehicle this old, if it hasn't been done, the return line hose from the reservoir to the pump should be replaced. Make sure all the hoses are inspected and good.
