Default Removing wiper fluid reservoir?

Can this be removed without taking off the front bumper? If so, how?

yeah, take the bumper support out... and you might as well paint it while it's out

Two brackets are in the way. It isn't hard.

Wow, is it that hard on LS1s? Mine just unbolts and lifts out. I could go outside right now and have it off in ten minutes, including taking the battery out. You guys and your fifty extra horsepower.

Yep, It's in a very tight spot. maybe an Hour or so and it's out. I did mine for weight reduction.

Oops, I'm an idiot, I just re-read the post and realized it said wiper fluid resevior, I was thinking coolant resevoir for some reason. The wiper fluid resevoir is a PITA to get out.

I dropped mine out the bottom...took about an hour of staring at it and unbolting some stuff.
