Hi All,

Thanks for the excellent responses on the power steering hose problem. I
brought this question up with Tegger off-list and he never heard of it.
Before getting the service done, the shop mgr. started talking about the
Balance Shaft Gear Case probably needing replacing. Has anyone heard of
this? He said that it's common for high mile Honda's to need this by the
time for 2nd t-belt. Now I've done a lot of background searches and have
yet to read of this. I went along to the tune of $208.00 and labor in
addition to the t-belt job, was this something that was truly needed? '93
Accord SE 224K miles. Thanks.

Carl
