Power Steering?

Ok how hard is the steering when you remove the power steering from a 90 NA?

What all do you remove to remove the Power steering? Everthing but the rack and pinon?

i didn't bother with finding those bolts, i simply looped the return line to the pressusre line coming out of the pump and looped the cooler lines together so i could pull that out.

dan_sama- LOVE ths sig.


You loos about 10 pounds(in my case probably more with the braket) your car feels a lot better and your arms get buffer.

Oh and the steering no longer feels like a 50 year ol hooker.
