Taking out the battery is one option, but I prefer to remove the wheel then remove the access panel in the back of the wheel well. That exposes the bottom of the single udder on that side. I’ve not had to actually remove the udder itself to clean it but “milk” it instead to remove any debris.

Yes it’s held on by a few screws. The panel isn’t large. It also gives you access to the pcm some people send off for the mail order tunes you hear about.

Taking the access panel off is pretty easy, but there is one screw that is kind of hidden - it is on the underside at the rear of the panel. You'll see it if you just follow the panel lines.

I took the battery out and followed the udder as it snaked down around the wheel well. Again I was lucky as the udder was squeaky clean.
The who process took less than 15 minutes. I'm thinking pretty good PM and a super quick reward for the effort.

All of mine were full of leaves and trash on my 03. Did pull the battery for the passengers side.

So this thread gave me inspiration to clean out the udders. The drivers side (all three)took about one minute- serious. I ws lucky as they were not clogged.

ok found the third one hiding in the back..it has a slight amount of crusty remnants in it, not much but enough to clean out. now to do the 4th one this weekend. if the car is up on jacks can you reach up and get it or is there something blocking straight access up to it.
with the elite rocker rail bars and a low frame jack i can get the car up in the air on both sides in about 6 minutes total time.

success, when I had the car up in the air to replace the sway bars I took the access panel off, it was very simple and yes that one lower screw to the fender was hiding on me....I was surprised to see the udder opening all the way down at the bottom of the fender, I guess I was thinking it was going to be up higher like the others. thanks bob

Quick question- I put the passenger udder back on and routed it back down by feel rather than by sight. There are no kinks or anything but I want to make sure it's routed properly so that it's not dropping water onto anything sensitive (such as wires/electronics). Is the routing of the passenger udder pretty foolproof to put back on? I don't feel like going through the hassle of jacking/lifting the car up to look underneath.

you just have to jack it up high enough to turn the wheel so you can access the screws, the wheel doesnt have to come off
