Removing the windshield washer fluid reservoir is very simple and does not require special precautions. Open the hood and locate the reservoir behind the right front headlight (passenger side).

Unscrew the mounting bolt and lift the reservoir just enough to disconnect the power connector for the pump and the level sensor. Then, pull the pump out of the bottom of the reservoir by simply tugging it (it is press-fit inside the rubber grommet), being careful to avoid spilling fluid.
