Color my fingers lucky or tenacious. I agree on the locknut being very optimistic. In theory, I could put a 90° bend into a spanner and wiggle it in place to hold the hex head of the bolt for tightening... or so my optimism tells me. Whether or not I'm willing to go to the trouble is another thing.

Not sure how well the PS pump lasts without fluid, but assuming it's like any other pump, I'd reckon not well. Probably due for both a rack and pump. There aren't any undue sounds from the pump or rack - is a seal repair possible, or is replacement much less of a headache for only marginal greater cost?
