Do I have to bleed the fluid or keep it in there, my guess is keep it in there so it doesn't ruin the internals..right?

I didn't, just loop the lines and you'll be good.

You will notice the pump shaft is mounted on a sealed bearing, so no need to fill the pump with fluid. Put the plates back on and simply use the pump housing/pulley as the tensioner. This method is completely free.

Re: P/S Removal
Resurrecting this one again guys. I've leaks coming out of everywhere on my N15 pulsar at the minute. It's leaking from the pump, from the cooler and the rack so figure it'll be easier and cheaper to just remove it all.

I plan to gut a spare pump I have to run as a tensioner, remove the reservoir and all lines leading to the cooler and to the rack.

Most people here say loop the lines and run the car like this but a friend of mine who has years of experience working on cars for all sorts of purposes Is telling me to drain the fluid from the rack, put something over the In/Out of the rack to stop contaminates getting at the internals and then pull back the steering rack boots and cover the rack with lots of synthetic grease to protect. Sound like a bad idea or does anyone else run a similar setup?

Re: P/S Removal
Do you find the steering to be heavy like this? According to my friend with the pipes open and no fluid there's zero resistance turning lock to lock
