Default Powersteering bottle - How to remove

Hello all,

I've bought a new powersteering bottle but the old one is very hard to remove. It doesn't slide from its bracket and i can't remove the screw holding the bracket on the wheelarch.

Can someone tell me the easiest way to remove this bottle?

Regards,



Mark

You will have to find a way of undoing the screws from the inner wing, its the only way

I just pulled mine out and wrecked the bracket

It didnt take much persuading to get out and just replace the bracket

Thank you all, eventually i've destroyed the old bottle to get to the screws. Now i'm going to sand the braket and repaint it because it looks quite shabby.

Regards,
