The Euro R pulley still has the hex so you can use the crank pulley holder. It is more expensive than what you did, but it cost me less than $100 US.
I just locked up the front brakes and torqued pulley to spec.

And this worked to break torque as well? We've had problems doing this on two different 5Gens. Once we used the crank pulley holder and a breaker bar, the pulley bolts were removed easily.
This also doesn't work if your engine is on an engine stand.
if you guys get me the part numbers, ill price them.
BTW, that description up there (the long one with pics) is nice and all, but what exactly are you supposed to feel? I've driven a euro-r and it feels exactly the same as my car... Did the BB8 come with this feature too?

Bad thing is, you're still pumping fluid through the rack and the valve assembly in the input shaft housing of the PS rack. I'm getting rid of all that garbage and converting it to a real manual rack.
It's a 5Gen rack, but I'm removing all of the PS parts (seals, bypasses, lines, etc). The rack appears to be a manual rack, just with power, so I don't think converting it to manual will hurt anything, as long as I lube it well.
how was the feel when you guys just looped the input and output with a breather? I did this on my cousins integra using the PS reservoir as a breather and it feels just like my hatch back. Then again it doesnt have AC either. But i plan to do this to a Lude sooner or later along with some real light weight rims probably like 11lbs Spoons. Whats your input on driveability.
