Ok after replacing the pressure hose (steel line right at the fitting broke) I am getting ready to fill it up when all of a sudden the return line starts leaking and I dump the reservoir, ok no real big deal, get the trusty inspection mirror out and have a look..well the return line is leaking from the exact same place as the press. line was. so after bashing a few knuckles, shedding some skin and a few drops of blood I finally get the line to crack free and remove it from the steering box. Then I fight with the factory clamp on the reservoir get that off (in a couple pieces) then decide I had better slice the return hose in order to get it off the little plastic "tit" it attaches to..no problem get the hose sliced then it all goes down hill!!! The plastic "tit" breaks off just as I get the hose off.. now I know I can "modify" the new hose enough to re-attach it temporarily. So my question is Can the reservoir be removed from the pump easily?? I will be venturing to the wreckers in about 4 weeks and I can rob several complete pumps and a few reservoirs, but can these be changed easily? or do I have to split the pump to do it.
