e46 steering fluid reservoir hose

Hi guys

Struggling to remove my steering fluid reservoir hose as it is leaking apparently need a special tool anyone know where I can get one?

No special tool needed, you will need to break the factory clip with a screw driver, it's like a small CV boot clip. Replace it with a Jubilee clip /clamp. Make sure you buy a decent one not some Chinese crap.

If the top of the hose is really crappy cut the top off cleanly with Stanley knife.

Thanks for the reply Charlie

Are you talking about the clip on the reservoir side? I am struggling with the opposite end not the side that connects to the reservoir itself

I did this exact repair. i put a grinder to that hose connector. Be gentle. You only want to cut the connector. Then get another hose and jubilee clips and you sorted.
