1964-1993 Mustang Convertible Top Motor Pump Grommets & Reservoir Filler Plug

•      For all 1964 - 1993 Mustang Convertible Top Pump Rubber Mounting Feet Grommets and Reservoir Filler Plug.
  
•      How to install: Lubricate the point of the grommet with oil or transmission fluid.  
•      You will need a tool - a round rod a bit smaller than the hole in the top of the grommet.  Make sure the end of the rod is not pointy - otherwise you will pierce the rubber plug.  An ideal tool can be made by grinding off the pointed end of a Phillips screw driver so that the end is either flat or slightly rounded.
•      Place the point of the grommet in the hole in the pump mount. Insert the rod you made into the hole in the top of the grommet. Push the rod into the hole, stretching the grommet so that it slides into the hole.  Easy after you have done a couple.  Then use the same technique to mount the pump to the car.  

How do I get the air out of my hydraulic system"?

Remove the reservoir plug on the motor pump.  Leave the plug out and do not put back until you have finished. Fill the reservoir 3/4 full with fluid (to the bottom of filler plug hole). Put a rag under the hole to catch overflow that will occur as system fills. Run the pump for 5-10 seconds. Stop.  Check your fluid level and refill to bottom of filler hole. Continue running the motor in the same direction for an additional 5-10 seconds. When the top gets to the end of cycle, check your fluid level, fill to bottom of filler hole, and run the motor in the opposite direction. You are literally running the top all the way up and down several times. Checking the fluid level as you go and fill as required, leaving reservoir 25% empty. When you are no longer able to add fluid, put the top in the down position. Check the fluid level one last time, should be to bottom of filler hole. Put the plug into reservoir.
