power steering removed

Post by aaronthehic »

on the weekend I removed the power steering belt and replaced it with belt #4030290 which is only a 3 cog ,grooved belt . It runs the belly of the belt on the tensioner pully and the pully titens in the oposite way but the power is very noticable. does anyone know if draining the system will help the steering?

alot of honda guys do the same mod but they dont have to get another belt they just take it off. They have a belt that runs from the Crank to the AC and then P/S. The only belt they have is the one to the Alt. (thats it)so they bypass both<p>[ March 17, 2003: Message edited by: Hex3 ]</p>
