Default washer reservoir removal

Need to get to the groument behind the reservoir to run gauge cables through. Taking the reservoir out is some kind of pita! Aside from grinding off the bolts in the wheel well anyone know of a way to get to the top of the bottom bolts?

Thinking maybe grinding them off may be the best solution my hands are too big to fit behind the reservoir.

After I get to the groument, where does this come out inside truck? Do I have to take out glovebox or is it below?

I had just pulled mine the other day to have easier access to the ECU and my recollection is that they are spot welded to the lower bracket. I will be pulling it back into the garage shortly and will double check for you.

I had socket on the bolts in the wheel well seems they were just turning, makes sense they should be spot welded

Thanx for checking for me.

So I was wrong about the spot weld, they are a large phillips head. Mine are crusty enough that the nuts came off the thread without them moving. Looks like a long extension will go down behind the tank with the top bolts removed and it pulled forward a bit.
