Power steering pump question
 

The power steering pump from the 2004 lq4 has 2 return lines and 1 feed line, what do I do with the extra return line?

Cap off one return...or run hydroboost brakes;)

Ok, so I don't have to get a different pump, that is good news. How should I cap it off? Is there any kind of pressure on the returns?

a bit but not much. I just stuck a stainless bolt in the end, I think it was a 12 or 14mm I had laying around. Stuck a hose clamp around it and it hasn't moved anywhere in the past 5000mi or so.

Ok cool.

You mean in a hose on the nipple right? If you just put a bolt in the metal nipple on the died of the pump you would never get it to not leak. Just clarifying things.

I was thinking of just putting a short piece of hose on it with a bolt or rod of some sort in it and then clamp it down.

Mine had a stub of rubber tubing on it, I stuck the bolt in that. It wasn't the bare metal.

Oh it won't be blocked for ever....need to figure out my compact rear disc brake setup and then the hydro will be backing that and the wilwoods up front.

tapped mine with a tap and threaded in a bolt with some thread sealer on it.
