Windshield washer bottle removal, 87 vert.
Kinda embarassing. Gordon Killebrew was usin my car to demonstrate C4 fixes/adjustments at Bloomington. He showed us how to adjust the wipers and had me turn them on and asked me to push the squirter. It didn't work! I knew that mousies had been in the engine bay at one time and it looks like they chewed the hose that goes from the bottle to the wipers! I really do not use the squirters but I have this repair on my "to-do" list. It looks like you have to take the right gill panel off to get at the thing - right? Anyone ever done this? I would appreciate some tips. :cry

Had to do this last year. Remove wheel. Remove gill panel. Remove wheel well liner. I think there are 3 or 4 bolts that attach the bottle to the car. While you have it out, remove the pump and give the bottle a good cleaning, they tend to fill up with organic "slime". Do a search on the pump removal, it's a little tricky, since the nut that attaches the pump to the bottle is on the inside of the bottle. Whole operation should take about 2 hrs. :cheers:
