The bracket looks like a pain, yes. I took my wiper fluid reservoir when I removed my front bumper support. This in your TA or camaro? If it's mostly a track car or if you really don't care (like me) I'd take out the bumper support anyways.

I put mine back in last week with the entire front end together, but this was on a Formula. It slid right up between the air dam and front bumper cover. I just had to unhook the hood latch cable b/c it was in the way. Taking it out should be about the same. There should be 4 push pins. The bottom 2 are a biyatch to get out...

You shouldn't need to remove the y brace. I know it looks like it needs to come out but it doesn't. Just remove the 4 push pins, the weather pack connector and fluid line and it will drop straight out.

When I did mine my car didn't have the radiator, condensor, or front bumper on so I'm not 100% sure if this is helpful. They way I got those push pins out was I whacked them from behind and pushed them forward. They are most certainly a pain to remove though.

All you need is a crow bar, then you can gently pull em from the top. Thats what I found to be the easiest after breaking a couple

Ok so the more i looked at it the easier it looked.. I took out the 4 clips holding it in, than removed the black plastic piece the sits behind and under it by removing the 3 clips from the bottom and the 2 bolts on the sides and it slid right out the bottom no problem..
