Default Windshield Wiper fluid Reservoir removal

Hello Folks,

this holiday before my big install of TDx2 and BBK kit, i thought i will change my headlights to modified ones and fix my non working wiper fluid.

After removing the nismo bumper, i saw that , the reservoir is half full, i was assuming that there will be crack and hence no fluid. Looks like the leak is the top half some where and still no fluid spray when i use the switch.


So i decided to remove it off , only one screw is holding it place and other looks like plastic grasp .I removed the top funnel off and the only 10mm screw, but for the love of god i cannot take the plastic grasp off...its held by that grasp on the right side, when looking from the front. I was wondering if any of you guys know, what is the proper way of removing the tank /reservoir?


Mike

There's another one going against the one you see! You kinda have to grab both at the same time to remove it if my memory is correct...


Good luck

ya its kind of a PITA! I took mine off last year. You have to reach up from the inside of the plastic towards the engine and there are two 10mm nuts in there holding it on. I used a ratcheting wrench and it still was quite inconvenient. Then it kinda slides up a little and then you can pull it out and slide the filler tube down through the fender.

edit: Check out this picture of the back side, it sounds like you missed a fastener if you only removed one 10mm nut.

What was wrong with the water pump? Why wouldn't it spray? My front wipers do but want to spray either. I switched the front water pump and still no spraying.
