Hi guys,
I'm currently about 400 miles away from my tools & one of the mounting studs on my power steering pump sheered off inside the pump. I can't seem to find a machine shop nearby that will extract the stud from the pump, and I don't have the tools necessary to move my pulley to a new pump.
Would it be OK to drive this 1968 Firebird 400 around town with the power steering pump removed, and the power steering lines looped? I really need to get this car to the shop to begin some body work, this power steering pump is causing delays. I know on some cars the steering column is not strong enough to work without power steering, etc, so I figured I'd check beforehand.
Thanks

You don't need the pump but you could bugger up the steering box by removing lines. Loop back? I cant see how.
Can you get a magnet on a stick to get stud? PS has it's own drivebelt correct? take belt off and leave pump on and connected to steering box.
