Firstly, can I do this at all? Secondly how long will it last? I plan to remove the pump belt, and the fluid from the rack.
And no, this isn't for 'extra bhp' or 'more precise feel', it's because my rack is leaking plenty.

You probably could do it, but I doubt the rack will last long, no lube and it would be ass heavy, power arms not power steering!!

Well I don't anticipate massively heavy steering, many people run these rack without power assistance. As for longevity, I only need it last hopefully a month or so until I can get the pipes made fro the E36 rack conversion and then it's in the bin. I suspect a residual amount of fluid will lubricate enough. If not, maybe applying grease to the rack will do (non-power steering style).
