Anyone replace one of these ? Does it require some sort of contortion to remove if from its corner. I see the two bolts and the hoses going to it.

Thanks

I think mine needs to come off, as I'm pretty sure it's cracked. Well at least it's what I concluded from the quick coolant pressure test I did in Autozone's parking lot in 5 degree weather. I quickly evaluated how easy/hard the job would be in my garage, from a quick look it looked pretty simple.. If I get mine done soon I'll let you know how it went

Pretty easy to remove. It has 3 bolts though. Look under the reservoir towards firewall for the third one.

Thats what I was looking for. So the MC has to move but can just be unbolted and moved.

Thanks
