Default How to remove washer fluid reservoir bottle?

It's getting to be a bit nippy her in NJ an the last of the good drives before winter sets in. It's also time for putting in all the parts that I didn't make it to from the Hershey swap meet..

I've unbolted everything, but it seems I can't get this out of the top or bottom.

Any suggestions? I was thinking of cutting it out, but don't know how I'll get the new one in.

The larger "early" tanks are a nightmare. you pretty much have to remove the pax headlight assembly to clear it.

the cheater way is to cut the bottom mount tab, which is what keeps it from clearing.

from what I remember when I took mine out was that there was a lot of profanity. I took it out from the bottom with the brake duct, fender well, and bat wing removed.

I remember cutting mine in half when I took it out.

Cut the tab and pull that POS out! Takes some elbow grease.
