Why would you do that when you can just use the special tool?
Power steering on the S2000 is a fully electric affair, yes? Is that true for the Hybrid Escape as well? The MR2 system is electrohydraulic: instead of a belt driven pump, there's an electric pump (I probably didn't need to explain that). A few other cars have similar systems, but I forget which ones.
To do the conversion, all one would need to do is wire up the pump and run a feed and return for the fluid lines.
I think I might actually mount the pump on the cabin side of the firewall, and then just run the fluid lines out to the rack. But hat may end up being more trouble than it's worth, and I'm not going to relocate stuff to really annoying spots just so I can say I did. Right now, the PS conversion is more of an idea than a realistic project.
