Couple of tips to make this go smooth.

1) keep track of splash shield screws. There are three kinds

3) careful around the upper radiator hose. I broke the nipple that goes into the expansion tank

4) get the tool for the high pressure hose. there was no way I could get two wrenches to compress the plastic tab. Here is what I got: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

5) the rein brand hoses are good. One made in Germany and the other made in turkey. no issues with fitment.

Pretty straightforward job if you're prepared. I ordered the oteiker style clamps, but regretted this decision later. Make your life easier and order the correct size screw clamps and the line disconnect tool.
I am guessing that this thread is about replacing the PS reservoir? Or is it about replacing the lines?

If it is the lines, then what engine/year is this in reference to (adding your vehicle details into your signature is helpful.)

Can you expand on the job? What was hard? What was easy? Where did you find the steps? Do you have detailed steps for the job? How long did it take?

I am looking to do my PS lines and this sounds like it might be helpful with a few details.
