There is just the one bolt. The rear of the reservoir is held in by two rubber plugs that fit into a bracket. Once the bolt is removed, just pull/yank the reservoir directly out from the bottom and the rubber plugs will pull out of the bracket. You have to give it a good hard pull and if you didn't know that it was just a rubber plug was holding it in, you'd be convinced that you'd break something - but you won't.

I'll post a picture tomorrow.

I got under there this afternoon. Dang I had forgotten how big and long the driver side fender liner is... Dang...

Once it was off I.looked under there and the hose was off. I reconnected it and all was good. I could see the rubber plugs but was lucky and didn't have to take it off.

Thank.you.

Steve
