For relocation of the power steering reservoir on the G8 Locate the power steering reservoir on the driver’s side of the engine compartment. Unclip the reservoir from the factory bracket by using a flathead screwdriver and pulling the tab away from the reservoir. Lift up on the reservoir and set the reservoir to the side. Disconnect the (2) wiring harnesses from the factory bracket. Pry one harness clip loose from the bracket. Open the second harness clip to release the wiring harness from the bracket. Using a 15mm socket and extension, remove the (2) bolts securing the bracket to the cylinder head. Remove the bracket from the vehicle. The bracket and factory hardware will no longer be used. Extend the smaller (3/8”) reservoir line by pulling it out of the reservoir (loosen the factory hose clamp with a 7mm nut driver). Use a 3/8” x 3/8” double barb to connect an additional 6” section of 3/8” hose. Tighten the connection with hose clamps using a 6mm nut driver. Tighten the extended end to the reservoir with the factory clamp. Remove the larger (5/8”) line from the reservoir and pump and replace it with a 19” long 5/8” hose. Use the factory clamps with a 7mm nut driver to tighten each end. Using a 13mm socket, remove the nut securing the master cylinder to the firewall. Place the supplied bracket onto the stud, replace the nut and tighten. Route the hoses down and out of the way, securing them with zip ties. Be sure to route them so neither hose is pinched or restricted. Slide the reservoir onto the new bracket, pushing it all the way down to ensure proper fitment. Refill the reservoir to the “COLD” full position.
