Anyone know how to remove the windshield wiper fluid reservoir?

[Torsion]

I'm trying to install brake ducts with the 2013 and I'm stuck. The inlet tube is aimed *straight* at the windshield wiper fluid reservoir, and I can't seem to get around it.



Anyone know how to remove the reservoir? I can see three bolts... but I'm not sure how to disconnect the fluid line from the pump (?) in the side of the reservoir. I tried the "kinda pull hard" and it didn't pop off.

My write-up and my memory both say "pull straight up." But, I have 2012. Maybe they changed something on the 2013? Seems unlikely.

Thanks Jimmy.

I ended up pulling the pump outwards to unclip it from the reservoir, then pulled upwards. Note to others.. have a bucket ready

With the pump separated from the reservoir, it came out pretty easily with three screws.

It was much easier to install the hose with the reservoir removed... then I was able to bend the hose and tuck the reservoir back up into place.

I found it to be an unacceptable trade-off on routing of the cooling duct, so off it stays and a -8 lbs forward of the front wheel to boot.

I got mine attached to the bezel and routed without moving the reservoir. 2013.
