    Is there an easy way to drian the windshield washer reservoir or just spray until it's empty? I want to empty out the cheap cleaner that came with the truck to something more freezing temperature specific.

    There are two 10mm bolts holding it in. Remove those and lift the reservoir out. At the bottom of the reservoir is a hose and plug to the pump. Unplug both and remove reservoir and dump out.

    I literally just did this to install my ARB compressor.

    Pull the washer pump and grommet out. You'll probably have a little bit of fluid leftover, but that's no big deal.

    I just disconnected the hose from the hood, aimed it off to the side and sprayed it all out. I did it in like 20 second intervals because I was worried about burning the motor out. Not sure if it was a valid concern, but figured better safe than sorry.
