i didnt re route any. i plugged the two metal lines with jb weld and turned the steering wheel until fluid stopped coming out of the rubber line against the front drive side wheel well and plugged it with a piece of bar stock and clamped it. it works for me? does anyone if you have to re-route the lines? the rack is full of fluid so i dont think it will hurt anything if you dont?

It seems to work well that way.

You're a tough guy though...what about for the rest of us?
I'll try that and see what happens. My water pump just sprung a leak, so I'll have to fix that before I can see how much I like manual steering.

You haven't been having much luck with your car lately.
