Did you take the feeding tube for the washer fluid out?

I just removed that one 10mm bolt on top of the feeding tube and unable to remove it. Are there any other bolts/screws holding the unit in place? Thank you in advance.

The neck of that is detachable, put a little m.a.n. Into it and yank it off then out it back on when you're done

The washer fluid fill tube should pull off quite easily.

Take sure you have the right bolt taken out. i made the mistake of taking the wrong bolt out when taking my parking lights out. The bolts are very close to one another, but correct me if im wrong one holds the light in place and the other holds the windshield washer tube.

The washer fill tube bolt is clearly connected to the fill tube - no real way to mistake it for anything else. There are also no bolts holding bulbs in... the bulbs twist and "lock" into place on their own. There is a cover that needs to be removed to access the bulbs first, but no bolts are required to remove the cover. There is a locking mechanism that is on a hinge that you need to move and then the cover pops right off and exposes the DRL/High Beam and the Parking Light bulb.

Thank you for the responses. I guess I will have to put more muscle to the refill neck. Lol
