Yes and no; reattaching the lines to their respective connections can be a bear, as well as getting that bulky electrical bundle to fit under the tank and still allow it to be bolted to the fender. Consider trimming a little off the end of the lines as well; they tend to get brittle and leak. >3 - how much fluid should I expect it to need I would buy more than you think you need. Since you're doing this anyway, why not take the time to flush out the old fluid from the rack and the pump. >4 - what should I do to the mechanic (or organization) >that made this huge error in telling me it was safe to >get home!!!

Well, the best thing would be if they would pay to have the car towed back to their shop and do all necessary repairs, including anything that may have been damaged.
