To remove the washer bottle you need to remove the right front wheel and the inner fender liner to access the washer bottle. Couple of 10mm nuts hold the bottle in place. Leak may be coming from filler neck rubber grommet as well and not the washer bottle.

How to replace front brake pads on a How to replace front brake pads on a 2000 Chevy S10 4WD pickup?

First you want to remove brake fluid from brake resovoir, raise front wheels off ground and set park brake or block rear wheels. Remove front wheels, keep steering wheel unlocked so you can turn rotors side to side. Loosen bolts that hold caliper end gently pry caliper free from rotor, remove caliper and remove pads, use bungy cord to hang caliper away from rotor, have rotors measured to see if they are thick enough to have machined, replace if out of specs. Match up pads with old ones, use anti- squeak red liquid and put layer on back of pads, let dry. Use tool to put pistons back into calipers, slowly put pistons back into bore while opening up bleeder screw so ABS won't be damaged. After rotors resurfaced, wash with rubbing alchohal to remove any oils from hands, install rotors and reverse putting pads back onto caliper and reinstall, torque caliper bolts to factory specs and tighten bleeder screws. Install wheels, torque lug nuts to factory specs and replace brake fluid in resovoir. Lower car carefully to ground and press brake peddle without pumping it. Any air in system should bleed out, if not get someone to help with bleeding system. Road test to ensure no squeaks or pulling, burn brakes in slowly.

Daihatsu Terios hydraulic breaks

Hi, buy a couple of pints of brake fluid, dot3 or 4, get a bleed pipe from your local car store, connect to each bleed nipple behind each wheel, with the nipple open press brake pedal down several times, do one at a time, as the fluid drops in the brake fluid resovoir keep topping it up so it does not run out, do this to all the 4 wheel starting with the one that is furthest away, you sould end up with a bottle of very grimey brake fluid, good luck.

Winshield Washer Fluid extremely low pressure

The washer pump is located in the right front fender, mounted infront of the wheel. Remove the front portion of the wheel well splash cover to gain excess. This pump does the work for the front and rear washers. Verify that the pump is working and then check for a pinched hose.
However, if you hear the pump working,as you say, open the hood and take the hoses off the squirter nozzles to see if there is good flow of fluid. If there is, then your nozzles are plugged. You may be able to clean them out with some air pressure. Careful working with the nozzles, as they are plastic and break easy.

My screen washer isn't working properly

Hi Stuart,

The motor may be on its way out, but there is something you can do before you get a new one.

Disconnect the hose leading from the washer reservoir to the "jets" on the hood, or wipers, where ever they are located.

See if you can blow through the hose, if not, there is an obstruction. If you can, I don't know what to tell you.

Best of luck
