Does anyone know if a company makes one? I'm fairly certain that no one does, but I was curious. I would like to remove my entire power steering set up including the pump, but then how would I go about running the water pump?

I don't think that I have the skill to machine a bracket and tensioner so in the meantime I was looking for a quick solution.

Thanks

No and why remove power steering? You have forearms like Popeye?

Probably wants more feedback from the steering.

ahh, it will be hard to turn, make sure you know what it will feel like when you remove it by driving without the belt for a few miles.

as for the water pump, no i dont belive anyone makes one for it

If you just take the belt off you have to fight the pump which makes it exponentially harder to turn. Drain the fluid and put just enough in the rack to lube it and then just loop a piece of hose from the places on the pump. Make sure to use hose clamps. Do these mods at your own risk. I do not accept responsiblity for what you've done to your car.
