That metal line goes into the top of the power steering pump, and the rubber hose goes on the side or bottom. After you get the top one hooked up, you'll see where the other hose goes. It's pretty simple

Once you get everything hooked up, I would not connect the inlet line into the PS reservoir for a couple seconds when you start the car....just so you can get all the old crap out since, you don't really want that circulating through the system or pump for that matter.

have a little cup or soda bottle to catch all that dirty fluid, when you see it turning clear again, then shut the car and refill the reservoir. Oh yeah, and make sure you use ONLY a HONDA approved PS fluid, the pumps are really picky on what type of fluid goes through there.

And once the system has fresh fluid, start the car and turn the steering wheel from lock to lock a few times to bleed the system. It's probably not necessary, but, it won't hurt

I do this with the front tires off the ground like my Hayes recommended. Keeps the tires from getting scrubbed. I'm pretty sure it's not necessary to have the wheels off the ground from the point of view of the power steering system, though.

OP, buy 3 containers of the fluid. If it were me I'd hold out another day for the Honda parts department but that's because I can be superstitious--me not knowing that much about the fluid requirements I figure go with the most conservative method, stock/OE.
