Thank you, Thanos , and Charlie for your input.
And I agree about removing the belt driving the pump, but, what I want
to know even more is this:
_Not_ removing the belt, and the power steering pump were to be driven
with _no_ fluid, what happens to it ?
I am under the impression that the pump burns out in short order.
I don't know what goes in the pump and would be interested in what the
mode of failure is.
Thanks
