:confused: Hi out there! I have about half of my 87 944S torn apart trying to get the windshield washer fluid tank out of the car. I replaced the pump today since it wasn't working and while working on getting that going noticed that my reservoir tank has a big leak in the bottom of it plus it has a bunch of crud that needs to be cleaned out before I put the system in service.
Anybody know how to get the blasted tank out of the car so I can fix the leak? It's obviously more complicated than unbolting it and lifting it out. I've removed every mounting screw/bolt that I can find and can move the tank around in the car so I know I have all of the mounting hardware removed, but I haven't been able to get the thing out - eith from the top or the bottom. Looking at the design of the tank and how it was secured, I feel like it was installed from the bottom, but I can't get it out that way either. I even removed the pop up headlight motor to give myself more room but no luck.
I am sure there has got to be an easier way to get this thing out. Can anybody help me out on this one? It would be greatly appreciated!

It has to come out the bottom of the car.
