#115724, "Stripping power steering..."


          

Ive looked around a little and couldn't find any info on this.. I stripped my power steering and A/C and ive heard of some people looping the ports on the rack after they empty it... I was just kinda wondering what other people have done. I was just gunna leave them open but i wasn't sure if dirt and shit would get in there? Any advice?

Do NOT drain the rack. Loop the ports with a T in the middle so you can fill it / burp it.

What he said....


That fluid keeps the rack lubricated.

Pull as much line as you can and throw a t on that bitch. Worm clamps and fuel line hose is godsend. Cheap, too.


Happy parking!

I had the idea of running two hard lines around the evap lines and connecting them to the resivoir. That way it looks clean and you have a nice place to fill and drain it from if need be. You just need to watch out for the alternator belt.

I pulled all the lines without looping them on the rack. Going on a year no problem. Bullettdsm does the same and that is why I did it that way.

I pulled the lines without looping them either... and as Mike said, no problems so far... and I have had it like this for quite some time.
