and disconnect the plugs from the washer
pump and the warning sensor along with the
hoses and set it aside. You will replace this
with a Paxton supplied washer bottle in a
later stage of the installation.

crescent wrench. Hitting the wrench with a
brass hammer will break it loose. The fan

to be discarded and the Paxton supplied
washer bottle installed in the area just
behind the front bumper. (See Figs. 2.2-a,

extend the pump sensor wires along with the
hose. This is supplied in the washer bottle
relocation assembly. Using the bracket as a
template. Drill two 3/16" holes in the bar

bend the washer bottle bracket a little to get
a perfect fit. Install sheet metal screws and
extend the wires and the hose.
