How do you get this stock plastic coolant tank out of the engine bay? What do you have to take out to get to it? Is there replacements for these things other than stock?

Cool I will go through the wheel well, I don't think it is the fille neck because when ever It starts to fill a little bit it starts to leak. I priced a new one at the dealer and the want $159 for it. I would rather jimmy rig a one gallon milf jug for that price. I can't believe that they want that much for a plastic box that holds water. Then again the hose that goes to it could be messed up. I will check it out. Thanks

just so you know. they sell plastic repair kits, just for the purpose of fixing cracked coolan tanks and washer fluid tanks. It's like $10. I've used it on 4 customer's cars. Hav'nt seen them back in over a year with a leak!
