  Q: How to replace the Power Steering Reservoir for the CB Series on Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A:

  The hydraulic pump installation starts with placing it on a steady flat surface with its shaft positioning upwards for CB Series power steering fluid reservoir replacement. A screwdriver should be used to extend the retaining clip tab while sliding the reservoir clip off the hydraulic pump assembly . Use the previous procedure to remove the second reservoir clip followed by extracting the reservoir from the hydraulic pump housing. Both remove and dispose of the O-ring seal either from the reservoir neck opening or the inside area of the hydraulic pump system. Before installation of the new O-ring seal you must lubricate it using power steering fluid then place it on the reservoir neck. Connect the reservoir to the hydraulic pump assembly so the reservoir neck completely joins the components. The reservoir feet should match the hydraulic pump housing sides during installation while using the provided clips to secure the reservoir. Ensure the clips' tabs fit securely into the pump housing.

  Q: How to Service and Repair the Power Steering Reservoir on Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A:

  Service and repair of the power steering reservoir should begin with fixing the hydraulic pump on a flat surface so the shaft points upward. Insert the screwdriver to spread the retaining tab of the clip before moving the reservoir clip away from its position on the hydraulic pump assembly. The second reservoir clip should be removed through the same process before you extract the reservoir from the hydraulic pump housing. Discard the O-ring seal which you will find at the neck of either the reservoir or the hydraulic pump housing that you need to remove. Complete installation requires power steering fluid lubrication of the new O-ring before placing it around the reservoir neck. Mount the reservoir onto the hydraulic pump assembly where the neck fully joins with the assembly. Place the reservoir feet against the hydraulic pump housing sides then position the new reservoir retaining clips (supplied by the pump) into their appropriate slots so they completely insert into the hydraulic pump housing.
