    Ray what about the coolant? Did you drain first, or?

    @MeGuinness It's pretty much necessity too: to remove wipers, wiper motor/linkage and windshield cowl.

    Coolant was drained and windshield wiper cowling was removed. Coolant spillage was limited to 1-2 ounces if you cork the hoses, or 3-4 ounces if you just disconnect them and let them sit.

    Keep us posted @MeGuinness (y).

    you can pinch the hose from reservoir to prevent it from being drained
