so i decided today to remove my Power steering and i dont know which lines to loop and what to loop it with

i have line "D" plugged, every time I turn the steering wheel left even if its plugged it squirts out fluid. what do i do from this point. I have drained the reservoir and removed the belt, and pump, how, and what do i do next
What tools do i need

 

can i cut the hardlines and loop them that way

Try this:

HOW TO : Removing Powersteering and looping the lines

 

i have a 4th gen prelude thats for 5th gen
I have a 95 prelude and he has a 98

 

yah i got really tired of people telling me "search its there!" only to be given a link to a 5th gen.

 

^it should be the same process

 

the steering rack isnt the same

 

Loop them together:

beware: looping makes the prelude hard as **** to maneuver.

bump for answers, im trying to finish this tomorrow morning
what can i use to cut hard powersteering lines?

 

^a pipe cutter

 

....or some snips and a set of testes

 

Is this good enough to cut the p/s hard lines
It can cut from 3mm-29mm

That will do fine if u have enough space....mine is about 2 inches tall

 

how bad is it really driving with out p/s??? my car is a daily driver am i going to hate it?

 

i dunno, i have my ps....

my roommate had a Civic w/o PS...and i HATED driving it....


personally i think that its unnecessary to remove it for the minimal at best gains.

 

I looped "A" and "D", do i have to loop "B" and "C"

 

it sucks without ps. it takes a while to get your muscles into it lol

I don't think it matters at this point since it's basically a closed system (fluid flows through all the lines eventually).
