Looping Power Steering Lines?

[brsteinbach]

I've been thinking about deleting my P/S and I was wondering how and what lines do you loop.
It may not be hard to figure out if I look at my rack but I figured I'd ask so I didn't mess anything up.

Thanks guy's.

There's a feed and return line on the rack and you run a hose from one fitting to the other and then put a clamp on them.

Ok thanks, sounds simple enough.

It's pretty straightforward. Just make sure you keep some fluid in the rack and don't let everything drain so it stays lubricated. If not then your rack won't last too long.

Sweet thanks for the info.

Was there ever a diy on converting the rack to manual, I know it's been mention before about taking it apart and removing some sort of piston or something along those line to make it easier to steer.

I looked into this before but I never came up with anything. I was trying to find a manual rack that you could swap onto an accord but like I said, nothing. I never thought about converting the rack with power assist to a manual rack though.

I'm in the process of doing this now with a j/y rack. I got it all apart and removed the "piston" a month or two ago. I just need to grease it up and put it back together, but it seems like it will turn nice once done. I used this guide as a reference. It's not as close to the accord rack as I thought it would be, but it gave me an idea of what I was doing. http://flyinmiata.com/tech/depower.php?x=1
