Re: PS Pressure????

Uh yeah! When you take the high pressure hose off. You then take that big nut out. Next will be the pressure valve then a spring.
Replace the valve with one from a vehicle that has less assist or look at the valve. YOu will see a nut on one end with a couple a washer or two under. If you very carefully take that nut off, thats the tricky part, don't damage any of the machined surfaces or crush the valve. One of the companys that specializes in steering makes a tool. I think it is Mullins? Anyway get that nut off. To decrease pressure add washers or to increase presure take them away.
 You can get washers with the tool. Or take them from another pump valve.
 Simple and I have done it on my old setup. I dialed the pressure down to almost no assist at all. This does not really increase road feel and some will tell you it is not the "correct" way to do it. Maybe not but it can and does work.
