Does someone recommend a easy way to replace the darn coolant bottle.. from looking at what i gotta get passed to get it in it looks like a mega hassle... so before i start pulling stuff apart thought i would ask you guys if you have an easy way of putting it in.

When doing the engine swap I bolted the rear crossmember back in and then realised the bottle was still out.  Cant recall what I did exactly but remember having to loosen the crossmember, moving it down to squeeze the bottle in.  Was a major PITA, hopefully there is an easier way, but I couldnt see it.

I swear I put mine back in after refitting the engine/crossmember etc... Might have to unbolt something else to squeeze it in.

ended up just taking the fuse box partly off and moved some of the loom out of the way and could squeeze it in through the top... should be a bit better then my previous cabled tied coke bottle coolant reservoir haha

I tried to remove mine once to see if it had a crack in it or something. after my dad and I spent an hour or two trying, we gave up. I think there's even a bolt for a bracket for it we couldn't even be bothered getting back on after it was so hard to get off.
