    Hi, old reservoir was crazy so I’m replacing with new. Drained it with syringe and unscrewed the two screws holding it to floor. Forced the reservoir past it’s plastic protrusion so it’s free from the van floor, but it’s still not coming upwards.

    I guess this is because the lower fluid outlet pipe is on a 45 degree angle.
    I’m guessing I need to go underneath and remove the pipe?
    Looks like I need to remove an underside cover plate with 3 retaining bolts? To gain access?

    Any advice here?

  3. You’ll need to pull the pipe off from underneath. Should all be obvious from under the van.

    If you still have the original rigid plastic pipe between the 2 reservoirs, make sure you have a new rubber seal before you pull them apart. The old one will likely be shot, and the pipe will leak if you try to reuse it.
