Should I be hesitant for any of the PS componentry by doing this? Maybe let it run once a year or something? I am a truck driver and am out on the road four weeks at a time, drive 90 miles home, then 90 miles back to work a week later. It doesn't get much runtime.
If you remove it, loop the lines on the rack, and the rack will be fine, since there's still fluid going around in it keeping it lubricated, and it's sealed shut.

The PS pump might not be good, but why would you run that thing when you can get an EHPS replacement off Ebay for 60 bucks?
