Vert top lift pump

[Repostyle]

I just changed out my bad pump for a used one. While I had the pump out I saw on it to use type II ATF fluid. Is there a res. or fill hole on this thing somewhere? I put it in and it seems to work fine, I didn't hear any air when running the pump, just wondering if there is a resevior (sp).

Anyway, for those of you that need to do this job but aren't sure:

It's really a simple job, a 1 on a scale of 1-10 and about 20-30 minutes

Tools needed:
Flathead screwdriver
Phillips screwdriver
13mm wrench

Removal:
The pump is located directly behind the center of the rear seat and is accessible from the trunk.
First disconnect the red and yellow wires, the quick disconnect is located about 8 inches away from the pump.
Next disconnect the ground, which is screwed to the floor of the trunk near the pump's two relays using a phillips screwdriver.
Once power and ground are disconnected there are hard plastic hoses attached to the front and back of the pump using T fittings. Place a rag under the pump's front and back sides to catch any leaking fluid. Being careful not to twist the hoses, unbolt the hose fittings from the pump using a 13mm wrench.
Using a flathead screwdriver, gently pry the four rubber mounts free.
Replacement:
Reverse of removal

The resivoir is half the pump assembly...the other half is the motor. the fill plug is the black recessed plug at the top end of the cylinder unit...and it is a buger to get out! Carefully pull the hydraulic line slack to allow the pump unit to be roated 80* or so. Using a flat head screw driver and or pliers, remove the plug and see where the fluid level is and top off if neccessary.

I used a pair of needle nose pliers to pry it out. It's on the right side/end of the pump. It's surprisingly long and a tight fit. It's a black rubber plug as mentioned. I got mine out without moving the pump at all.

The fluid is supposed to be flush with the bottom of the hole. Put a wad of paper towel under the hole. Then Use a turkey baster to refill it. Or a plastic hose with your finger over the end of it to hold the oil in. Run the pump to remove air before putting the plug back in. It holds quite a bit of oil. I think I had to add 1/2 a cup to bring it up to the proper level.

Okay thanks, I did see that rubber plug, but I figured that was all motor. I'll get 'er topped off today.
