[s-cars] windshield washer nozzle - update

[Daniel Koropchak]

Bob you will need to disconnect the wire to the power steering tank then slid that tank up and out of the way. The washer tank had 3 mounting points. 2 of them are on the lower surface of the tank. Long extension from the top. Then disconnect the electric to the 2 pumps & possibly remove the headlight pump prior to tank removal. Pretty easy as you will see. getting those 2 lower nuts on can be a pain trying not to drop them
