Default Disassembling stock power steering pump

Trying to take the reservoir off of the pump on a 73/74 stock pump.
How do you do it? What bolts are holding them together?
The ones with the bolt stud?
I see no bolts on the pully side, only the back side.
And can someone point me to a good seal rebuilt kit? that fits right the first time.
Here's what I've got.

Those three hex things....remove them. Do Not bang on the can.
The one on the lower left will have a check valve and spring behind it.. Pat attention to how they come out so you can put them back in correctly.

I agree to remove the 3 at the back. Napa has the correct rebuilt kit. It usually come with about 12 rubber seals and one front metal seal.

Here's a link to an article I used to help with my rebuild:

It's not hard. Use a digital camera to take pics of each step. That will help when you re-assemble.
