ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

    Will removing Power Steering belt disable P.S.?

    My power steering pump is leaking in the body of the pump. Also think it's making some odd sounds.

    I want to disable it until I my rebuild kit arrives in the mail and I can rebuild it. I'm thinking that will prevent it from burning up or whatever if the fluid leaks out or if there are other problems inside the pump because of the leak.

    Is that a good/bad idea?

    Can I disable it just by removing the belt?

    Other than having no power steering assist, will this cause other problems?

    I use to ride with a cut belt i never had any problems, as long as there is fluid in the lines. Eventually took the system out and relooped my lines.

      It won't cause any problems but I think you're still gonna have fluid leaking from the pump unless you unhook the pump from the lines and loop them. You will still have fluid being pushed through the pump if not; though it may not leak as bad.
