Power Steering delete
 

Not asking whether or not to do it. Looking for easiest way to remove power steering without compromising safety. Thanks all.

...............as far as i know there is only one way to take a power steering pump off

I have heard it said this can cause the wheel to lock up later down the road.

I thinklooping the hoses together will help avoid that. Leave them hanging & youre inviting crud to get in there & screw things up.

The BEST way would be to get your hands on a manual rack that doesnt have a spool valve on the pinion shaft. But I dont know if such a thing exists...

How do I get the belt off?

knife?

Cut it with a knife...

Any other way? I may want to put the belt back on at some point.

Loosen the PS pump mounting bolts, loosen the tensioning belt. That allows the pump to slide downwards, slackening the belt.

For the record, I drove around without a pump and hoses hanging for a long time, never any issues. Enjoy the awesome feel of no power steering!
