Tips for replacing overflow reservoir

UberXY · 04-29-2015, 11:06 AM

I was doing the fan belts this morning (easy) and I took a look at replacing the overflow reservoir. My warning light is on most of the time so I was just going to replace the sensor until I saw how inexpensive the whole reservoir is.

So any tips here? I see where it unbolts and all the lines that have to come off, but the connectors look kinda fragile and one of the bottom ones is tough to get to, even with the fan removed. Suggestions from someone who has done this?

Thanks,

Steve

Question: Why do you need to replace this? Does it wear frequently?
