If you were to disconnect the power steering pump will the rack still work? If so how long? Would it dry up then seize up? I'm looking to delete the powersteering but still (for now) i have to use the power steering rack till i can get the manual one. peace

Yeah i'll try it? I get the caps for free at work! Shouldnt be to bad with skinnies on front to turn? I really dont think it'll be that bad with the street tires if your moving? peace

I just routed the hose in a loop to block it off. Don't ask me how it works I did that w/ my h/c/i swap that I started in Jan. It's still not done.
