i have a 94 ex coupe but i dont have power steering, is there some type of way to plug off the rack so i dont lose fluids? a friend of mine told me some one found it here but im not sure where to look.

 

run the in and out lines on the rack in a loop.

yes because you dont want to plug them at all

That's not really true. Using a minimal amount of fluid as left over lubrication and plugging the input/outputs does not cause a serious issue. Done it on the FD, and done it on the EG. No issue.

One small exception I will add is that I did not use completely airtight NPT or 3/8" plugs, I capped them off.

 

correct way to do it is to loop the in and out.

 

also, make sure to remove all the fluid(that is still under pressure). i made sure to turn my steering wheel back and forth numerous times. if not, the steering will feel extremely tight.

 

Yep. That's why I say it's not too essential to loop the lines as there shouldn't be so much fluid in there that the loop is actually being used - but that's just my method.

yeah.. me and a friend plugged his rack with a little more fluid than we wanted in there and the rack was very tight

 

kool thanx now i can finish that part of my project, word up

 

Thanks for the back-up 0554

 

does anyone happen to have a pic of this set up, because im kinda confused, on the rack there is 3 lines comming out of it, theres the one that goes to the pump on the block then theres 2 other ones that ran to the cooler on the front of the car, which ones get looped, and what do i do with the other line, just plug it?

 

bump for pictures of the setup

 

bump again

 

bump!
