    didn't even think not removing the rubber line off the reservoir. Fortunately, it didn't break off ! Got a 5th gen camaro, and was going to replace the pump originally, but found alot of moisture on the high pressure line. Great work, learned alot from this !

    Thanks homie, I was just gonna start turning wrenches remove the lines install the new ones, and call it a day. The finer details are gonna help a lot. This will be easy as pie. I hit a nasty pot hole on the interstate yesterday and for certain my front bumper which is plastic bottomed out. The lines on my car hang low and it must have flexed the line which sprung the leak on an already older car.

    Instead of replacing those spring clamps that go over the ends of rubber hoses, I think it's a good idea to replace them with a screw type hose clamp. That way you can always tighten them if needed. You can do it all over the engine.
