A power rack with the pump removed isn't a manual rack.There's a pump, send/return hoses, and the rack. It's a simple setup.

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.

It is a myth that power steering fluid lubricates the rack.

Small cars don't need power steering. I removed mine years ago, I can steer the car with one finger, and I still have the pattern for the inexpensive light weight block off plate....should that be of benefit to you.-Bob
