Is it alright to take off that plastic coupling and this hook thing that holds that coupling around the steering wheel, I see the joints inside are lubricated and I am guessing that the coupling keeps the lubrication in place.



About the two threaded holes behind the steering rack where the power steering hoses were recently connected to, can I just plug those up with like a bolt ?

 

I know these are stupid *** questions for some of you Honda 1337 Gurus out there, but I'm not as mechanically inclined as you guys are so this is why I am asking "dumb" questions. Bump.
