Yeah.. the old reservoir should just go in.. but mine didn't slide completely in and won't no matter how hard I pushed it. So I gave up trying to get it in any futher.. I have rode the dragon twice and done other hard driving and it hasn't popped out yet. Also I saw someone else with the same problem except he had wrapped a zip tie around it. (I'm quite positive that zip tie wouldn't save him. If it did try to pop out.)

It was more of a pain than I was expecting. Mine didn't sit all the way down either, so I "helped" it along with a small screwdriver. In this process I must have torn one of the rubber bushings because it leaks now and have to top it up every few days. At least the bushings are cheap, so when my replacements arrive I'm going to try again with more of a side-to-side rocking motion and less of a pointy-object-poking motion.
