Removing Power steering

I know tat in order to remove it, I must get the DX steering rack, but I'd like to take off the belt to try it out for a short moment, to see if i actually like it.....Where would i find tis belt? n how would i take it off?

power steering pump in on the front right (if you're looking under the hood from the front) or drivers side. The belt runs from it to the crankshaft pulley. just loosen the mounting bolts so the pump moves and off it should come. you wont notice any difference except you'll feel the road better. when you're goin slow and parking its a bitch...I like it though

as far as i know dx's come with power steering so you would need a CX steering rack. You should prolly be able to find a cheap on on the boards or at a scrap yard

a VX model would also have one, and some dx model's didnt have power steering, like my dx coupe. wait for a part out to come up and im sure youll be able to find one at a reasonanble price.

I think if you don't know what a steering pump looks like (to find the belt) then swapping out the whole rack might be a little difficult for you. Just my 0.02's
