Removing Hicas

[Proximity Motorsport]

ok i know there is about 5 odd threads on how to remove hicas but they are hard to understand. I have disconnected the pump/whatever it is at rear of car and followed piping up to the hicas solenoid.

Right before the solenoid where the 2 metal hoses go into it is what im guessing is powersteering cooler (alluminium piping infront of radiator goes in a big loop) .... well what im wondering is just before these 2 lines go into the solenoid... can i remove the solenoid and just join these 2 pipes together??

If need be i can post pictures but not till tonight.

thanks for any help in advance

the 4 wheel steer tries to correct you when you are drifting and just f**ks around and aint good to drive on

steel piping that runs under the motor from the power steering pump is the starting point. the pipe that feeds the hicas solinoid gets cut (to remove flange and nut) and then get some power steering rubber hose, hose clamps X2 and plumb this up to the power steering cooler. simple. no mods needed to the pump at all and your hicas can be completely removed. any questions PM me.
