My 2004 SL55 AMG (R230) hydraulic pump is oriented such that I cannot tighten the hose clamp (red arrow in attached picture).
I believe all I want to do is rotate the plastic reservoir without making a mess.
There seems to be one allen head bolt (1.) and some plastic "plug" (2.).
Any secrets on how to loosen up/rotate/retighten the hoseclamp/reservoir?
Thanks,
Tom
Tom, by what I can see in the picture, you just need to remove the spare tire to access the hose clamp bolt..! Otherwise you would have to remove the 4 nuts holding the whole assembly in place and lift it for access. Screws 1 and 2 has nothing to do with the hose clamp and reservoir holding.

Thanks, I don't know how it was installed because the hose clamp bolt is facing away/under the clear reservoir...I will investigate accessing it. :-(
