Washer Fluid tank
 
How do you remove the washer fluid tank and pump?
I cant seem to figure it out. Thanks

Remove front bumper and remove your driver side wheel. With the driver side wheel off remove the lower screw in the wheel well allowing you to get behind the plastic cover and into the reservior. Then just unbolt the two screws in the front and behind it. They are like 3 screws in the back and two main screw up front. The reservior will slide back out into wheel well.

You will also need to remove the Factory brake duct in order for it to drop down.

its not that much work. the bumper sounds like a big deal to pull off but its only like 6 or 7 bolts. very easy job. and its not that much work. and if you are trying to save weight why dont you just dump the neons.

I actualy am dumping half the neons. But i'm not trying to save weight. plus the neons only weigh like 3 pounds or somthing. But i'm using the Subzero start tank for washer fluid and i'm just getting rid of the washer fluid tank.... Also i just thought this up a second ago... Since there is a hole for the filler neck is it possible to run Cold air threw there?

I hope you are prepared to fill your tank every other day!!!
Really, the stock washer fluid tank is huge, and you have to fill that periodically.
On long trips you will have to carry fluid with you in the trunk. IS it really worth it?
Why don't you just remove the subzero assist tank, you are supposed to anyways!!!

You don't need to remove the front bumper to get the washer bottle out! That's just nuts... :rolleyes:

Totally agree.

Just remove the passenger side front wheel, unscrew the plastic shield that surrounds the wheel well, and then undo the brake ducting. You will then have a clear path to the washer bottle. The pump is mounted to the bottle, so you don't have to worry about taking it out seperately. Here's a pic of the area that used to have the bottle in there - you'll see that the brake ducting is back in there, and the bumper is still on......
