Coolant Reservoir Removal
Coolant Reservoir Removal
Ok.. I tried the search function.. No luck.. I'm trying to remove the coolant reservoir enough to get it out of the way of the Passenger Side High Beam Headlight... I need to replace the bulb...
I removed the two nuts that appear to hold the tank in place, but it won't budge. There is a Post on the bottom with a grommet.
Does the tank simply pull off of the grommet? or is there a trick I haven't discovered yet? I've pulled on it hard enough that I'm afraid I'll break the tank... Any help?
Thanks

Re: Coolant Reservoir Removal
I never figured it out. Ended up changing the bulb with it in place.
Not easy, but it can be done. I also find that cutting the webbing between the two electrical terminals makes it easier - that way, you can remove ONE terminal at a time.
Use small, sharp diagonal cutters and just cut the material between the contacts. Look at the drivers' side light to understand where and what to cut.

Re: Coolant Reservoir Removal
Yea it is... I used the old addage, "If it won't move force it... If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway..."
It came off, the headlights changed.. a little WD40 to get it back on.. slid right together like it was supposed to...
