When I started my mission to hide as many hoses & wires under the hood as possible I decided to eliminate the washer lines & bottle since I don't use them. The only way I found to get the bottle out was to cut it in half.

remove the splash sheild from underneath the car, 2 bolts behind the rocker trim and 2 bolts going up from under the car. Remove the charcoal canister, 2 phillips head screws from inside the wheel well hold the clamp in place, let it drop down, then remove all the hoses. Then you can get at the bottle. I think it's 10mm bolts, I got at them by reaching way up there and with I think my 12" extension on my ratchet. You can get at the third bolt that holds the neck on from above. You'll have to swap the pump over to the new bottle. Take a 3/4" I think deep well socket on a ujoint then an extension down into the washer bottle to remove the nut holding the pump. Make sure to leak test the new one before you put it back in!
