• Q: How to replace the Power Steering Reservoir for the CB Series on 2005 Buick LaCrosse?

  A: The first step to replace the power steering fluid reservoir off the vehicle for the CB Series involves mounting the hydraulic pump on a steady flat surface while maintaining the shaft in an upward position. The retaining clip tab requires force from a screwdriver to propel it outward followed by moving the reservoir clip away from the hydraulic pump assembly. The second reservoir clip must be removed through the same method after which you can extract the reservoir from the hydraulic pump housing. Throw away either the O-ring seal positioned on the reservoir neck or inside the hydraulic pump housing. Prior to installation on the reservoir neck the new O-ring must receive a coating of power steering fluid. Then it can be fitted on. Attach the reservoir to the hydraulic pump assembly by fitting the reservoir neck into the assembly completely. Whenever installing the new pump reservoir into place ensure its feet are aligned with the hydraulic pump housing sides before you slide in the reservoir retaining clips provided by the pump manufacturer until they lock into position.
