Coolant Resevoir Removal
I tried searching on the Tips and Maintenance Subforum, but couldn't get any results, which surprised me. Is the coolant res easy to remove? With my valve covers leaking oil (finally fixed), it got sludge all over the thing and I can't see the coolant level. I'd like to take it out and give it a good cleaning....
Thanks!

Re: Coolant Resevoir Removal
there are two little nuts on top (10mm head I believe) that secure the top of the reservoir to the strut tower that you have to remove, then just lift it up off the bottom mount, remove the hose and VOILA, it's your's for the cleanin'.

Re: Coolant Resevoir Removal
Unless you have a strut tower brance, then that has to go first. The its Rich's directions and your home free!

Re: Coolant Resevoir Removal
No way! Ha, ha, ha, I had no idea it would be that easy. I figured for sure there'd be more to tear out - thanks fellas!
