I just bought a new reservoir for my stock power steering pump cause i broke the plastic line at the bottom of the reservoir, so im just replacing the whole plastic reservoir.
What im wondering is how these come apart? It looks like its just pressed over a big o-ring, but i dunno, never took it apart before.

Thanks

I believe the pulley is pressed on and somehow and holds the plastic housing onto the the cast metal part. Years ago I did the same thing and paid a Ford dealer to swap it for me(it wasn't much if I remember), but I'm sure it's not hard to do. I just didn't want to screw something up becuase it was my dd at the time.

Thanks, got it figured out, just unbolt the major hex bolt/line and the reservoir twists off

The big nut on the back that the pressure line goes into needs to be removed and it will come apart for you
