If the shaft had broken then the 'fan belt' would have fallen off.  ;) The pump could be goosed  but I'd be very surprised if the drive shaft was broken.  :y

Sorry, I know you drive a CDX but i don't know if that's a V6 or not!

My steering was heavy even after i did my abs ecu, changed the fluid a few times, took out for a run then was fine! (Not making noise anymore)

Ah! I see what you mean now.  ;) You need a 'new' pump  ;)
As per the how to, changing a pump isn't difficult, just a bit messy.  :y  :y  :y
