My girlfriend had never done so much as an oil change on her own, but last year she removed her power steering pump all on her own in preparation for a trip across the country (CA to VA). As Slowtec said, it took some trial and error to find the right length belt to bypass the pump entirely (which would have been running dry).
Steering effort in her Matrix is noticeably higher, but still pretty easy, and definitely not enough to warrant a manual steering rack.
We haven't been topping off the fluid (never thought to check) - hopefully we aren't going to burn up the rack anytime soon! Maybe I better check on that...

So the other day we both returned home at the same time again, only now the weather is warm, sunny, with no wind. And I yell to him: You took the car? In this weather?!?
