Power steering pump

Replacing the pump. Having a bugger of a time getting the return hose over the return nipple on the reservoir. Any ideas?

do you have the airbox removed? gives you alot more room to get your hands in there... rub a little PS fluid over the nipple on the resevoir.. should push right on there..
