Not much of a kit needed. Take the pump off, take all the lines off, turn the rack back and forth to pump the excess fluid out and you're good.

20 people are going to come on here and tell you the rack will wear out that way, but in 11 years of doing them that way, i've yet to see a failure...

Padawan and steatlhmode performance sell them if you really want them,but yea.....^Listen to above advice and save some cash.

If your really that worried about it,some 3/8 rubber hose a "t" fitting, some clamps and a junk yard clutch master cylinder reservoir will work wonders.That's how mine is setup and since I had all the parts laying around it was free and it's basically the same thing as those kits.

you could also get all the fluid out of the rack... pump good automotive grease in it such as mobil 1 or somethin like that and then loop the lines so you don't have to worry about it... that's what i'm gonna do

That thread has the sizes in it and in the link in the thread.

I didnt even use fittings on the rack.The only thing I used fittings on was the "t".My friend had a power steering rack that was in a junk car he stripped so i took the hard lines and fittings, cut the excess line off ,slipped the tube over it, clamped it on,and put it in my ps rack.Only reason I didn't do that to my hard lines was because I was selling my p/s system complete on ebay and didnt want to screw it up.

all you gotta do is loop return/send lines into a t with line going up to reservour tank to catch excess fluid.. pretty simple..
