I've got a leak in the power steering system of my 87 325 (E30/M20) and am
waiting for parts to get here but need to drive my car in the meantime. In
order to not ruin the pump I'm looking to take the belt off until the parts
come. Is there anything I should know or need to look out for in doing this?
Does anybody have instructions on how to do this? I think I should be fine
but would feel more comfortable with instructions. Thanks!

I have driven vehicles with no pump. They are much harder to turn than
standard steering but as long as you are strong enough, I can't see any
issues.

You will need to identify the hinge point of the pump and the usually
slotted adjuster bolt. You loosen the hinge usually and then the
adjuster to let the pump come loose. Some vehicle have a set screw on
the adjuster that needs to be loosened first too.

as well. if so you are out of luck

I hope you have a lot of upper body strength. Without the pump your
steering
will be extremely difficult to turn.
