We're bringing our vehicle up on the lift to make it easier to show you what's going on, but you should be able to do this either with the vehicle on the ground or the front end raised slightly. Once the vehicle is supported, you'll want to take off your left front wheel, and you'll want to do that with a 22mm socket. You'll pull the lug nuts off, pull the wheel off, and then you'll have access to the inner fender liner.
You can access the three Torx bolts that are right on the inner fender liner. They're T20 bolts, and you'll want to remove those along with the two clips on the top of the fender liner so that you can push the liner out of the way. With the tool that you can get from 1A Auto, you can pop it right in the clip and pull the clip right out of the fender liners. Once you have the centers out, the bottom half will come out very easily just like that. There's one more clip right here in the back on the inner wheel well. You'll pop out the center and then the bottom half. With the clips out and the bolts out, you can pull the fender liner out in front of the brake rotor and get it out of the way.
Most washer bottles are going to have fluid in them when you are removing them, so you're going to want to empty that. To do that, you have a rubber hose right here that you can disconnect from the pump itself, which usually just pops right off. At that point, you just need to catch all the fluid with a bucket. From here, you can pop the connector off. Then it's simply as easy as pulling it out of the housing and lifting straight up. You're going to lose a little bit more washer fluid most likely so be prepared for that. At that point, you have it out of your vehicle.
The new pump goes in very much like the old one. You just slip it in the rubber boot, and then you can lock it into place like that. The connector can go on like that, and the last part is hooking up the rubber hose, which slides right onto the pump like so. The fender liner can now be put back into place. Tuck it behind the ABS sensor wire, and then start putting your push pins right back into place. You'll want to reinstall your three T20 Torx screws next in the front of the fender liner.
Now, you'll want to reinstall your wheel and tire. With the tire back on the ground and lug nuts just hand tightened into place, you'll want to torque each one in a cross pattern to 140 foot-pounds.
