I have the same problem with my '74. I've heard/read that the only way to get at it is to "remove the master cylinder", pull out the reservoir, and replace the pump. Geez. I can't believe there's no easier way. And if there's not, I'll wait for the master cylinder rebuild (power brakes on mine) to replace the washer pump.

This is how I had to do it, but I didn't remove the lines from the master cylinder. Carefully moving it toward the valve covers gave me enough clearance to get the reservoir out.

you may not have to take the container all the way out, I got mine out by taking the container loose, then uses a deep socket to take the nut off inside and slip the motor/pump out of the bottom
