using a syphon or vac pump suck the fluid out of the reservoir. Remove the 10mm bolts securing the reservoir. Then carefully pull the res away from the fender liner. You should move any interfering wires/hoses and wiggle the res back to get the hose clamps to clear the holes. You can push from the hose side, too.
The nipples get brittle with age and might break if not already broken.
Once clear of the holes, you can unhook the hoses.
Gluing won't work if the nipples are cracked, just get a new reservoir.
When you reassmble adjust the postioning on the hose clamps so they fit more easily though the holes.
A frequent leak source is from the hose connection at the bottom of the pump. The hose gets rock hard from heat and the hose clamp can't hold it tight. Doubling up with another hose clamp can help, but a new hose is the best solution.
