Do people still *think* this can increase power? Anyway... umm, remove the belt, take off the pump, lines, and plug your steering rack.

definately not going to be worth the 3 horsepower you might get from it. driving a car with no powersteering sucks!

oh it wasnt for any sort of hp purpose, just that my pump is leaking n i was wondering how to remove it. it has a few miles left to go, but its leakin fluid all over my crossmember n on my axle..gotta refill every other week :\


also, just wondering how to get better steering response cuz its not as responsive as other cars..maybe has to do with the pump? i jiggle the steering wheel a lil n nothin really happens..in my aunt's old ass saturn its responsive as hell still..

this is NOT the case. if anything you need to connect the top threaded hose connection to the bottom on the steering rack. otherwise the fluid inside it will build pressure on onside or the other depending on which way you are turning. so if anything just connect them together and it'll actually help a little.
