Default Udder confusion

Cleaned my udders, thanks to the great advice on the forum. I removed the battery to access the passenger side udder. AfterI put it back in, I dug down to where it ends and felt harnesses or something but no opening on the frame. Where does it drain out? Thanks

The udder just drains "out" and on to the ground. Although the top piece has an attachment point the bottom just "dangles."

I did mine a while ago and don't remember any wires being in the way?

Thanks. I was feeing around down there but didn't find any drain hole on the frame. Wanted to be sure I had it angled the right way.

Just stick your head under there with your mouth open and you will find it.

it drains on to the black duct panel and then seeps out, there are some drainage weep holes in the ducting but not really what you would be expecting

Some people just cut part of the end. Not sure whether it makes a big difference.

Here is a post from Bill Curlee answering that very same question:

Your best bet is to remove the access plate in the passengers side wheel well area. You need to jack the car up on that side and remove the wheel:



With that panel removed, you can access the tube and help feed it down to the area wher it belongs. Once you have the panel off, it should not be difficult to get it back in place.
