Pipes have been removed from the rack, fluid has been drained, now theres just the holes open where the pipes usually screw on to....

Mark, do you literally: Drain p.s fluid as much as you can, remove the green pipes, blank the holes where the pipes joined onto and thats all.
You dont leave any fluid in there?
Im just trying to think, how can it not be the same as driving a car with no p.s fluid
