Sanity Check Here:

***Edit - I might have my return vs. pressure lines reversed in my description below. It's the smaller one that is on the side***


I've got the older PS Reservoir, made out of metal.

The pressured line is on the bottom, whereas the return line is on the side.

The newer plastic ones have the inlets for the hoses on the bottom of the unit.

Since my is original and looks pretty dingey, I was going to replace it to make sure I have a clean filter (going to of course flush the fluid).

So.....since the inlet for the return line is on the bottom, the hose will need to be connected differently.

I'm not sure if I have enough slack in the current return hose to connect it to the bottom, but even if I do - is that a bad idea? Should I be looking to replace the flexible portion of the return line as PM?



(and yes...I've searched around a bit but haven't found anything along these lines)

I would use the metal reservoir,
get some brake cleaner and flush it into the ports to remove as much dirt as possible,
then reinstall it,
use a new curved line.
With the plastic part its easier to simply swap in a new one where its fitted

Out of curiosity, where does the filter sit in the reservoir?

I just suctioned out the fluid, and I'm not seeing anything like one. Under the metal plate with the 4 holes on it and over the outlet for the high pressure line?
