2. Remove the drivers side (pass. side UK) plastic wheel cover.
3. Loosen only the screws holding the plastic trim along the front of the windshield.
4. Lift up the from the drivers side (pass. UK) the windshield trim you just loosened, see pics, and use a piece of wood 4-6 inches high to prop it it up.
5. It lifts up high enough to use a pressure bleeder without any difficulty.Attachment 3525Attachment 3526
This is how I did it until I drilled out the panel for access port. I used this similar wood piece to stop my drill from going into the reservoir itself! Desparado and I did the trimming safely and in a couple of minutes this way. Some unlucky ones were able to brake a windshield wiper shaft trying to simply change out their fluid. Having the portal is a little sweeter than the old block 'o wood method !!
