GSLSE Power Steering

I want to take out my powersteering... Why? Because it's has a big hole and it's going to cost more to fix it than I want to pay. So, the question is, " what's involved in removing it w/o replacing the steering box?" do you Just fill the steering box with fliud and run a hydrolic line from fitting to fitting? i don't know what to do so please help if you can.

Thanks,
Justin

yeah and good muscles. i tryed with mine and was hard when you are moving, taking coners is a pain in the a$$. so my recomendation is to find a non power steering gear box.

Yes you do need to run a hose from one line on the box to the other, then you can remove all the other goodies.

with just runing a line will that make it easier to steer or will it still be harder than **** to move? or can I just drain the hole system and leave just a little bit a fluid for lub?

I don't have power steering in my se and it is not hard to drive at all. I think I can definately feel the road better. I am about to take the pump off because it looks heavy and doesn't work. I will post the weight after I do if anyone is interested.
