I'm sure it's been covered... you want to remove the 2 lines that come off the rack, find a fitting for one of them because it doesn't have have... loops the lines with a breather tank and your'e golden.

There are other ways to attach the breather, but this is the easiest way.

Ok... so do it. Take that shit off mang!


Just kidding. I wouldn't know exactly how to do either. I am sure that my admitting my ignorance on the topic will inspire some young grasshopper to give you a more thorough write up.

Good luck.

Bear in mind that the steering effort at low speed will be considerably higher.
If you've got 205 section tires on the front, parallel parking is going to be interesting. :chuckles:

I considered doing this for a while on the DC4. While I haven't found a decent writeup with part numbers and such, the basics are pretty simple.

Remove the PS pump and drain the system. Don't dump the fluid down the drain or on the ground; recycle it if at all possible or dispose of it responsibly.

Then with the pump removed, either loop one of the hard lines so that both ends of one line plug both ports in the rack, or buy a pair of threaded plugs to do the job.
(I think it's an AN-6 fitting, but take a PS line with you to be sure.)

Lastly, you'll have to experiment with belt lengths to maintain proper tension after the PS pump is no longer around. Again, I haven't found a write-up that includes a part # for the proper replacement belt.

A word of caution: While it's tempting to just unplug the pump hoses and drain the system, don't let that pump rotate without fluid. It will burn up the seals in a heartbeat because it relies on the fluid for lubrication and cooling.
