Power Steering problems -cheap hack
 

There is an interesting hack to prevent power steering leakage due to over-pressurization. Apparently there is a nasty Check Valve that can stick shut.

The fix is to eliminate it.
Does anyone have the details?
I presume the simplest fix is to just 'gut' the check valve ?

Anyone got some details on how to do his and exactly where is the check valve? Auto Atlanta do not identify it in their diagram linked above. I couldn't find it on Pelican:

The other hack/ultimate fix required is to REALLY seal the joint between the Reservoir and the pump. There are lots of "O" rings offered but the real problem is the wobbly twist-to-seal fitting .It tends to be a sloppy fit and wobbles loose so even with an OEM "O" ring in perfect condition it eventually leaks.
