69 convertable

[roper]

does anyone know how you get the convertable pump/motor out of a 69? I have one of the plastic lines broke at the cylinder on the car and will need to refill the resevoir. I am down to where the pump is and it is setting on rubber grometts. I couldnt see how it comes off. Also has anyone had any luck splicing into the plastic line that feed the cylinders? They are the originals so the are pretty brittle. I was thinking of trying it along the line where it was straight, May be that I should just change them all out. Steve

Just pry the grommets up (they may break), you will probably be replacing the lines and grommets anyway.

If the lines are too brittle, changing them out would be best.  I accidently cut one of my lines on my 68 and I used a regular plumbing compression fitting from Home Depot for the fix.  Cost about $3.

my next problem is how do you fill the resevoir? is it self bleeding?
