Default front washer pump

Windshield washers don't work, I am guessing it is a pump, fuse checks OK.... having trouble getting the reservoir out from under the hood. I am guessing at 2 bolts/studs that go down into the wheel well, but they just turn and don't let the nuts turn. I doubt I should put too much stress on them or just rip out the tank.. I got the 2 bolts on the top edge out but it still won't move (much) Any thoughts?? Might need the washers this winter I am guessing.

No leaks, just doesn't pump (front or back)

You'll need to cut those bolts off that are in the fender well. I've had to replace the washer pumps on my D1 a couple of times now. Hit up Will Tillery for used ones at a good price.

guessing on using a grinder as a torch may melt the bottle. I do have a spare on my other truck, just need a bit of warmer weather outside hopefully it is the pump and not some crazy wiring stuff.. Might just run a wire out to it and put a button on the dash!

had to replace all 3 of mine, front, back and headlights. Got them off Ebay, but one was worse than the one I had. Between the two (front windshield) I made a good one.
