HI:

Replacing the pump means you are going to reuse the reservoir. At first I was wondering why but now I have seen it done so here goes.

You have to get the pulley off first. Then have a look on either side of the plastic where it touches the pump there are two steel retaining sliders. The trick is to put a little screw driver into the elongated hole and pry it up. It is spring loaded and actually snaps down over a raised piece in the steel part of the pump. Once you see how it comes up you can start sliding this clip out by wedging the screw driver against the raised ramp like on the pump so the clip does not fall back down to lock it again. When you have moved it enough so the clip does not fall back down you can carefully tap the holding wedge looking steel out and clear of the tank. Repeat on the other side and wiggle the tank out away from the pump.

I would have a bunch of wipes around so the oil is not spilt and some one slips on it.

Good luck
