changing ps fluid in ek on jack stands

[vinnY]

can i just jack up the front and change the fluid or do i have to have it stationary on grass while turning the steering wheel?
its on jack stands at the moment and would be good if i can do it while its out of action for now

You don't have to change your power steering fluid in hondas

I worked at honda and never had to do power steering once...except when they leaked...the power steering fluid lasts and lasts....soo dont worry about changing it....

Is it leaking/??
Or does it have non gen fluid in it??

soy sauce = old fluid
sesame oil = new fluid
i believe it was overfilled too, all working fine now though, time for that wheel alignment!

I got mine flushed at a Honda dealer.At the same tim I did the Brake fluid and coolant too.With the coolant they do a power flush one way and then the other dissloging all the crap in there.Cost = $460.Well worth the dollars.
