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?
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.

It does pull off the grommet. It's a ***** though to get off.

It pulls off the gromet. I would try spraying a little lubricant on it if possible. At this age it is probably i bit brittle. I might even buy a spare, just in case.
Spray WD-40 at the grommet under neath the reservoir. Then wiggle it so that the oil seeps into the grommet. Then pull straight up while wiggling the reservoir.
I had a tough time with mine, but eventually it came out.
I also did this recently and it was a b*tch. Ended up breaking part of one the tabs. Probably should have sprayed some WD on there like people are saying 😑
