I am wanting to keep the steering pump in place (for looks), but i need it unhooked since i have a CBR non power rack and pinion.

I think that I can remove all the components that build pressure from the inside of the pump. This will essentially let the pump "free wheel".
Let me know if this would not last overtime.
This is the inside of the pump with the reservoir removed.

Removed the metal plate to the pump

Removed the small metal blades that build the pressure

I will leave this piece out when it is re-assembled

I will remove this plug to allow fluid to just flow through, trying to eliminate any pressure build up

The spring and bolt will be left out when re assembled, allowing fluid to flow freely.

Here are my questions????
Do these to balls need to be drilled out? They set close to where the pressure line hooks up at.

How would i cap off the reservoir inlet? Could a rubber hose be used with a clamp? Or should i remove the tube and weld up the hole?

I would cap off the pressure outlet.
Should I run the reservoir with or without fluid?
Should the O-ring for the reservoir/pump be replaced? It doesn't show any damage, but I'm not sure if its reusable.
