Default Use Super Glue to repair power steering issue

Was recently replace the high pressure power steering line on my duaghter's Grand Cherokee when I snapped the Return Line nipple off from the fluid resevoir.

I don't have the time nor resources to replace the resevoir, so was considering re-attaching the broken piece with Super Glue.

Is this a viable option? Will it hold?

if it was my daughter I would make the time to replace the necessary parts or pay someone to do it for me if didn't have the time or resources. I would assume resources means tools, the reservoir is like 25 bucks.

Maybe.. but, imagine the quick fix fails and your daughter loses power steering.

A strong 2 part epoxy or maybe jb weld,But i would only do that as a trail fix to get me home.After that i would replace the broken part fully.Used at a junkyard they can't be more then 20 bucks.
