I am going through the process of replacing most of the components of my convertibles top. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is an easy procedure for installing new pump lines on a 1970. From what I can see it looks like it might be pretty difficult.

Marshall, The only way I know of to gain access to the top cyliners is to remove the rear seat and the side panels. Be sure to have something on hand to catch that stinky 40 year old fluid. The old lines are usually brittle so they can break easy. There is a good sticky at the top of this forum on how to fill and bleed the system once you have the lines replaces. Hope this helps.

Thanks, I bought the jug that bleeds your system without making a mess or unhooking lines hopefully it works well
