WARNING: Windshield Washer Tank removal
 
After I took my Z home I realized that the windshield wiper tank was busted and had been cracked almost perfectly around the bottom. I bought a new one and removed the tire and the side fender well to replace it as per the instructions given in the "FSM". I found that it's impossible to replace the tank without removing the front bumper unless your hands are super small and thin as paper because the 2 main mounting bracket screws face away from the bumper and there's NO way to reach them. :shakes head:

Unless you're prepared to remove the front bumper don't even try doing this because it's a waste of time, thanks for letting me rant.

Luckily it only takes 15 minutes to pull the front bumper, and that's stopping for a fresh beer halfway through.

Sometimes manuals are pretty screwed up. I just 8nstalled an oil cooler and was able to remove the washer fluid reservoir (easier to pass the new oil lines) just from the bumper cover removal.
