As for the washer fluid reservoir, the unit simply lifts up from its seating. There are no bolts, etc. holding it in. The tubing and wires are long enough for you to pull the reservoir out enough to get a wrench in there to unbolt the front clamp holding the battery down. Whatever you do don't unfasten the hoses connecting to the heating element that goes into the reservoir. You will be greeted with a healthy spray of anti-freeze.
