Its fairly easy.
From memory (as the car is out at the mo) use a syringe to draw off the fluid. Un-screw the bolts at the top. disconnect the top and bottom hoses. Off she comes.
Re-fit is the reverse

No probs - The car's back now. There is only the one hose as the resevoir sits on an opening which is sealed with an 'o' ring. I had to replace my hose as it was leaking and found a rubber petrol hose works fine.

Got it all apart....and Subaru have given me the wrong size 'o' ring. I need a 20mm and i have been given a 13mm. And they can't get the 20mm one till next week!!!!

Had the same problem & Subaru dealer sold me the 2 different sizes. Still can't figure out where the smaller one goes.
Doesn't leak anymore tho - just made sure i used loads of threebond to seal it all up nicely.
