P/S Reservoir and pipes

[SilverShadow]

Im trying to change the clamps which are on the 2 pipes connected to the power steering reservoir.....

Ive managed to cut the old ones off but now cant seem to get the pipes off the actual reservoir?

Is it just a case of brute force? Im a little worried that i dont want to break the reservoir...

any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks - will the pipes still be good to be reused if I use a heat gun?

As long as you use it sensibly!
If you're just trying to stop the usual leak, there's no need to take the pipes off. Open a couple of good quality jubilee clips right up, fit them around the pipes, use the heat gun, then tighten the jubilee clips while the rubber is hot.

Got the job done today. Removed pipes by slightly heating them using heat gun. Ensured everything was nice and clean, applied some universal sealant that i had laying around on the nipples.

Applied heat on pipes and then used oem jubilees!



Thanks for your help on this!
