I went in to change out the bushings on the power steering rack, sway bar and end links. I had been dripping a little ps fluid onto the skid plate but figured it was from a seal or fitting so I just added some lucas ps stop-leak to get by until I could get a new rack. When I pulled off the mounting bracket with the bushing on the rack I got a surprise! the outer casing of the rack under the bushing was corroded almost through and there was my leak. Until I pulled it off, the bushing was actually helping but now the fluid is basically running out.
So my question is this. Can I pull the power steering belt off so that I don't burnout the pump and still drive it while I'm waiting for the new rack?

Also a caution to those of you who live where they salt the roads, check that bushing because if it is worn/ loose, salt can and will get in and set there and eat away your rack!
