Hey guys, I dropped my brake reservoir cap down that stupid black square hole that it's housed in, and I can't see the damn thing, and I tried fishing for it with a coathanger and anything I could get my hands on.

Is there some way I can remove that damn plastic? It looks like it's all sealed up....

I need help with this ASAP, thanks in advance

 

1. pull caps off of windshield wiper arms to expose nuts.
2. loosten with (i think) 13mm. You may need to just barely loosten the nuts and hit them with a rubber mallet to break them loose from the wiper stalks
[wipers now off]
3. pull off weather stripping at rear of engine bay (theres no glue or anything)
4. there are 3 points (i think 10mm) on each side holding the plastic down. 2 plastic nuts, one by the strut and one by the hood hinge. There is the last metal bolt near the windshild behind the hood when its up.
5. pull the plastic cowl off. its clipped onto the plstic firewall too...just pull

should be it

you can just do the driver side if you want... but youll need to remove both wiper arms still

 

thanks very much. Also, I should mention that I have a right hand drive car (as I live in australia), would anything be different?

 

probably just mirrored. no biggie i bet

 

sweet, really appreciate it buddy, I'll give it a shot....

 

did it work?

 

sure did! thanks so much

I have a left hand drive 2010 and have dropped the brake fluid cap in the “hole” is there anything down in there the cap can hurt if left ?
