[Christ]

On cars which normally use a separate belt, it's easy as pie... on both of my (currently running) vehicles, not so much. I'd have to source out another belt to bypass the PS pump.

Yes, you can just remove the belt, it won't hurt anything. It would be like driving a hydraulic cylinder with no fluid pump, just doing the work of moving the cylinder in and out with your arms, working against the fluid. (In the 'Teg, Rick, it's easy... no real work involved, and I'd wager to say that if you told your wife there was a problem w/ the PS, and let her drive it that way, she'd quickly get used to it, unless she's Tinkerbell.)

The hardest part, obviously, is turning while stopped/moving VERY slowly.
