what i did was loop it at the tranny. heres what i did.

i know alot of people reroute there lines or just take out the pump and thats all. well what i did is for the two lines that go to the tranny from the rack i use the fittings from the rack and some brake line. reflared one end, bent the line to get where it needs to be and thats all. it clears the cover aswell. i still need to get some parts for a remote reservoirs. but heres the pics of it. enjoy

wat is that on the last pic for?

okay so from what i uderstand is that on the bottom the power steering connects to the tranny and all you do is connect the one that feeds from the tranny to the one that leads in to the rack and that will work just fine and no other mods r necessery .... and i see you have you motor out will i have problems doing it if motor is in and is that part that you to pick of is that the bottom next to the starter right...sorry i have so many ? i just like to learn new stuff

its alot easier to get the stuff out with the motor out or the intake manifold off. u can do it just a little harder. from what u first stated before will work fine.

yo will have to get a "tee" fitting to go between the return line and main line. then to the reservior

[dlatino]

why would you do this

[johnl]

Is it really necessary to loop lines etc? Why can't the PS belt just be removed?

If I jack both my front wheels off the ground and turn the steering wheel (engine off), there is no noticable resistance to turning it, the action is very light. I know that in theory the 'static' hydraulic fluid is 'supposed' to create resistance within the rack and make the steering heavy (being why people 'loop' lines etc), but in reality this doesn't seem to be the case...
