Power steering reservoir pitfalls...

Just did this job yesterday.

Couple of tips to make this go smooth.

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

2) Get regular screw clamp for lower hose. Its tights and the crimping tool that I had wouldn't fit.

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.
