why don't you want power steering? it is convenient, especially in those tight fit parking lots, or in drive through's. lol

 

i would leave it alone...the best way to remove your power steering is to change it to a manual steering rack..w/o power steering..g/l tho

 

You can remove your pump, cooler, resevoir and all your lines. And with the parts you removed you can loop the lines by cutting some of the hardlines and adding some hoses.

I dont know if the picture posted. But, anyways. There are 4 fittings on the valve body connected to the steering rack, 2 of them are 12mm, 1 is 14mm, and the other is 17mm. You want to loop together the 12mm together, you can do this by cutting 4-5 inches or so up the hardline where it bends( I suggest a small hacksaw if you have it-it will keep the line from getting clamped shut by snips). Then you are going to want to loosen up the fittings so that the lines will spin inside the fitting with out the fitting coming out. This way you can postion the ends of these lines so they are pointing in a direction that you can loop a length of rubber hose to connect them. And you pretty much do the same for the 14mm and 17mm this is where im going to add my breather set-up, but you do not have to. I hope this was of some help

just remove everything from the PS off and you can just leave it like that. You dont have to loop it around. Ive done it for my friends car and it works like a charm. I have the Padawan PS Removal Kit and Mine is so much harder to steer compared to my friends. THe softness of the steering depends on certain cars when the PS is taken off, plus the removal of the PS allows the engine Bay to look so much cleaner and feel more power from your vehicle's in hand.
