Default Power Steering Removal kit... Topmount Bseries guys i need advice...

SO im going with a topmount and i have to remove my Power steering pump and lines...
I was originally gonna switch right over to a manual rack... but then i found this...

anyone have any suggestions as to what i should do, or what they did

i dont really want to take it all out if i dont have to... I do want to keep the Power stearing just in case i ever get rid of the topmount and wanna convert back

topmount people, what did you do?

Just remove the pump and lines, and run either a loop or a breather, the breather is nice because you are always sure you have fluid in there.

It's very simple:

Remove the pump, reservoir, and lines. There is already one hose barb fitting on the rack, you need to purchase a M14x1.5 to 3/8" Hose Barb fitting from Earl's/Aeroquip/XRP.

You can now either loop the two with a 3/8" line, or route for a breather setup, which like I said I prefer and run on my car, that way you always are sure the rack is lubricated.

It is cool to see locals here, but everyone would be better off if half the time we didn't have to sift through multiple "guess my hp or 1/4" threads and even more "sup honda tek how do i make my d15b2 have 500 hp must be on 87 octance kthxbye"

As of late i've been more encouraging people to read the performance/engine building articles on team-integra
