"Can an EVO Delete be done without removing Power Steering Pump?"
"If so, anyone have the documentation on how to do so?"
Background:
Got a leaky Power Steering Pump to Gearbox Assembly hose (GM 26056831).
The leak appears to be cause by rubbing against Gearbox Assembly as seen in the photo.
The manual has the R&R instructions for the hoses and does not require the removal of the pump (1999 Ser. Man., Pg. 2-36).
While I'm doing this I was thinking of also doing an EVO Delete.
The service manual says that this CAN be done on vehicle:
1999 Ser. Man. 2-26
"To remove the variable assist steering actuator (4); refer to Fluid Flow Control Valve Actuator Replacement - On Vehicle"
However, for some reason I can't find that section.
Looking from underneath, it looks like it might be possible.
However, the NAPA tech bulletin points to an installation guide that says that the Pump has to be removed.
