Steps
Raise the vehicle and remove the wheel
Loosen the wheel nuts, raise and support the front securely, then remove the wheel to access the inner fender liner.
Disconnect the pump and harness
Release the liner clips and move the liner aside. Unplug the washer pump connectors and place a drain pan below the reservoir before removing the pump.
Remove the old reservoir
Drain the remaining fluid, remove the reservoir bolts, and drill out the bracket rivet carefully. Transfer the cap and bracket, then lower the bottle out through the wheel opening.
Transfer the level sensor
Remove the level sensor and its seal from the old bottle. Inspect the seal, place it in the replacement reservoir, and seat the sensor fully.
Install the new reservoir and pump
Angle the replacement bottle into position and secure its bracket with an appropriate fastener. Reinstall the pump and connect its wiring before restoring the fender liner.
Refit the wheel and refill
Reinstall the wheel, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts to specification. Fill the reservoir with washer fluid and operate the washers while checking for leaks.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
