Did you try moving some stuff out of the way. You could drop that green box (don't know what it is) out of the way. It's a 10mm bolt holding it up. That might give you some extra room. Good Luck.

try a different tool

 

[ebang]

not sure what green box you are referring I will look at it again today after work...I tried a few different tools..but there is a bracket right beside the bolt and it makes it very hard to get tools on the nut

good luck!!!!! but ok seriously 12mm deep socket with a 6 inch extension then a universal to a 1 foot extension to ratchet. thats the easiest way i know of im a pro at taking them out now 7 minutes or less form parking the car to filling up the new reservoir. i still fu**ing hate changing these things though

I will give that a try...hopefully I can get it done in about 2 hours

Bang on. This is how I do 'em too, and it doesn't take me much longer than 7 minutes.

(Unless I'm working on Duane's car, with a roll cage. Then it's a several hour sweatfest. )

get the lower panels of the dash out of the way, and then swivelsand extensions are your friend.

Well I finally got it off I could not get the extentions to work I used a 12mm stubby and that worked....thanks for the tips though.

 

[ForcedTorque]

now you are 1/2 way there............it's a bitch going back on too, but not as bad

 

[ebang]

putting it back on was not too bad at all...well know I know for next time

I'll second this one. Take the panel off that's just below the steering column, stand on your head under the dash, and use at least 6" of extension with a u-joint somewhere in there. A deep 6-point socket is also needed since the stud pokes out a ways.
