Washer Bottle Removal.

malcolm the piano man · 29th April 2023, 14:39

OK. I have looked at forums on here on how to remove the washer bottle and I seem to have done everything that everyone else has said that you are supposed to. BUT, I still can't remove the bottle. It seems to be hooked onto something. Both screws are removed as are all pipes and pumps. I have heated washers if that makes any difference. The bumper is still fitted but I intend removing it as I wish to take the headlights out and polish the lenses on the buffing wheel. Can anyone please tell me what I might be missing for washer bottle removal. Incidentally removal seems necessary as it is leaking. not sure yet whether this is because it is split or if it is a sealing ring with a problem.

TIA

Lift it up before trying to pull it off, there are a couple of hooks that fit into the chassis leg.
