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.
What exactly do you need a belt for after the system is removed? :thinking:
