yes i know... I'm going to change it out asap and will not drive my car at all if it is going to mess it up, I was just looking for a loophole so I can drive my car untill I can get some honda psf to use. Anyone else know anything about taking off the belt to stop fluid circulation??

taking off the PS belt will slow it from circulating, but not stop it, every time you turn the wheel, its still circulating it through.
