Hi guys!
Anybody know if there is such a tool, factory or homemade?

Actually i`ve removed and returned the same plastic reservoir on my 924 once, and did it by levering something underneath, one side at a time, but this was pretty nerve wracking.. I need to replace the two rubber plugs underneath the plastic reservoir (which is still very usable, the reservoir i mean).

I`m on a budget, so buying a new reservoir is out of the question. I have mentioned in one of my posts that it is impossible to get this part in this country, and that importation taxes on even a small item like this is ridiculous!

Maybe someone can post any pics of a factory (?) or homemade tool to give me ideas. Thanks!
patrick

Bionic Balls-
A good and simple idea, as long as you dont break off the plastic nipples underneath or have an extra reservoir handy...thanks anyway!

Lizard-
As in pressurize through the reservoir cap? You ever tried this yourself? (I still have my homemade positive pressure bleeder cap)

Anybody else?
