also, if you just take the belt off, it will be incredibly hard to steer. once you dissconnect the lines from the pump, and resevoir...it relives the pressure, and its super easy to steer unless the cars at a dead stop. but you just start accelerateing before you turn, i got used to it real fast. but i still need to loop or cap the lines. i would recommend you have everything you need to finish the looping off the lines before you start taking things out.
