Default Bye Bye Power Steering

I got up one day and looked at the CTR N1 crank pulley sitting in my room for over a year. And decided it was time for it to go on.

This last Sunday I removed the only thing keeping the CTR pulley from going on, and that's the power steering. I removed all of it, and tried to block up the lines. I left a little too much fluid in the rack so everytime I turn the wheel it squirts out power steering fluid.

I've had a manual racking sitting in my house for a good 8 months now, so I went and bought new tie rod ends and a new D bracket. I'm gonna see if either prothane or ES make a manual steering rack bushing, they have'em for the power steering rack but maybe not the manual rack.

I'm gonna try to swap the racks this saturday with the engine in the car. I'm really not looking forward to it, but 1stgencrxer says he's down with helping me on it, so I'm hoping it'll go quickly and painlessly.

I can probably get a temporary fix, but I wanna do it the right way and swap the racks.

I may take some pix, but I'll probably do a write up on it. I'll be too dirty for pix.
