removing power steering reservoir

OK, I've pulled the power steering pump assembly and need to remove the reservoir. What's the trick to getting those metal clips off. I can see that the are locked by the little spring tab. What's the trick to bending the tab up and prying them off. do i need to grow a third hand? Also while we are at it, any special tricks to know about reconnecting the reservoir to my new pump so it doesn't leak at the O-rings?

no they just slide back. you dont have to bend anything.

Problem solved, was able to get them off with some help from my son. As I held the pump and pryed the tab up he gave the clip a hit with a hammer to get them past the tab stop.

By the way when reassembling it all I happend to break the original plastic pulley wheel. NAPA had a nice metal replacement for $12, much cheaper than the $80 the 'stealer' quoted on the phone.
