I had a cylinder blow out on me on the passenger side after replacing the pump. OMG that WAS NOT fun... All of the ATF fluid ended up dumping under the rear seat. Lemme tell ya how much fun that was to clean up. Luckily I hadnt installed my Styling Bar yet. I ended up doing it all at once like you are doing. Just make sure you bleed the system really good or the top will take forever to go up and down.

When my pump went out the fluid was everywhere, took months to get that smell out :(

Taking the style bar out made the job a pita.

Well here is the issue. The fitting looked to be leaking, so I cranked it a few times and covered the whole area in brake cleaner.

I need to pop the top a few times to check and see if I solved the problem.

One of the million nice things about the south: There's no down time for car stuff. Car show/cruise stuff is,understandably, May - October up here.

Yeah, that time frame is gone before ya know it.

Exactly, the warm season moves by so damn fast if there's any major mods you're doing to your car during the summer you're basically up the creek for showing it off until the next year.

And I thought all I had to do was put my interior back together.

Nope. One of the little welded nuts on the brackets snapped off and seized on the bolt. After about an hour of trying to get it off I finally got it.

Just got another nut and cleaned up the bolt threads. Now to try and just get the nut to stay fixed to the bracket without having to remove it and break the rivet.
