Replacing Coolant Overflow Tank

[Red266]

Help me out I need to know how to remove/replace the coolant overflow reservoir. I will have to take it to A shop If I can't figure this out

disconnect the hoses, unbolt it and remove. There's no real procedure to it...what are your concerns?

Yeah take off the hoses and it should slide off the bracket with a lil force. Then the brackets can be unbolted if need be.

Hoses ? I only see one hose coming from the lower front of the reservoir.
Bolts? Are there any bolts on the tank or the ones that keep the bracket onto the frame
Do I have to remove the battery or filter box?
Does the coolant need to be drained first ?
I'm looking at the new coolant tank I only see two notches on the right lower side

My bad only the one hose. If you want to take the bracket off completely then yes the bolts that hold the bracket to the frame. Otherwise just slide it off the bracket and leave the bracket. Don't need to remove battery but you will have to take out the air box to make it easier. You don't need to drain the overflow tank. Remove the hose from where it connects to the radiator by the cap, but take a clamp of some sort and clamp it off first. Pics of the new coolant tank?
