Default HOW the heck do you pull the windshield washer res.?

UGH.

changing out suspensions, Damn this chassis. My mk3 has the same setup and is way easier in the front, or maybe thats because ive done it 5 times.

Anyways i got so mad doing the drivers side that i couldnt get to the secont bolt of the resevoir and i mustve pulled it too much in a fit of rage breaking it somewhere and causing it to leak all over the place.

How do you get that second bolt off?> I dont see anyway of getting a ratchet or a wrench in there?
CAn i just like super glue this or something? Plastic weld, i really dont want to go looking for a resevoir... :'(

Help me out before i end up breaking anything else.

Thanks

from what i remember there should be 3 bolt to hold the resevoir in place. there is one right behind the which, and one going up and down the rubber host, and the last one i totally forgot, if u take those 3 bolts out, the resevoir will pretty much drop out, but to take that long bolt out of the control arm, all u need to do is just move it over just a little and the long bolt will have enough room to come out. that's exactly how i did to get my suspension installed.

i think i used a foot long extension to get that out, yeah i know, that's kinda a B**** to get out, but u don't have to completely take that out, just loosen it, and just turn the resevoir enough to have the long bolt get through.
