Remove two top hoses on the reservoir, disconnect or pop out the pumps at the base of the reservoir and the reservoir will slide straight up. Remember that it's probably been sitting there for 18 years. Give it a nice firm pull.

Do I need to clamp the top two hoses, the ones that feed coolant through the reservoir? Or will I just need to concern myself with clamping the hoses to the AWP?

Don't own any clamps...will get some today.

Thanks....that was easy enough.

That AWP is pretty tight down in there....debating whether to do it myself or have my indie do it. Can't imagine he'd charge me more than 1/2 hour.
