7. **Remove the License Plate Assembly:**
- Once the bumper cover is loosened, you should have access to the license plate assembly.
- Remove the screws or fasteners securing the license plate assembly, and detach it from the bumper cover.
8. **Install the New License Plate Assembly:**
- Attach the new license plate assembly to the bumper cover, using the same screw holes or fasteners.
9. **Reattach the Bumper Cover:**
- Align the bumper cover properly, and carefully push it back into place, making sure it clips securely.
10. **Reattach Retaining Clips and Screws:**
- Put back the screws and retaining clips in their respective locations along the top and sides of the bumper cover.
11. **Reconnect Fog Lights (if applicable):**
- Reconnect the wiring harnesses for the fog lights.

Remember to take your time, work carefully, and document the disassembly process if necessary. If you're unsure about any step, it's always a good idea to consult your vehicle's repair manual or seek professional assistance.

To remove the rear bumper cover on a 2008 Nissan Quest, you can follow these general steps:

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Ensure that the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is turned off. Put on safety goggles and gloves to protect yourself during the removal process.
2. Locate the Fasteners: Look for the fasteners securing the rear bumper cover. They are typically located underneath the bumper cover, near the wheel wells, and along the bottom edge of the bumper.
3. Remove the Fasteners: Depending on the specific model and trim level, the fasteners may be screws, bolts, or plastic clips. Use the appropriate tools, such as a screwdriver or socket wrench, to remove the fasteners one by one. Turn them counterclockwise to loosen and remove them. Keep the fasteners in a safe place for reinstallation later.
4. Disconnect Electrical Connections (if applicable): If your Nissan Quest has any electrical connections, such as sensors or lighting, attached to the rear bumper cover, disconnect them carefully. Look for connectors near the edges or inside the trunk area. Gently detach the connectors by pressing the release tabs or using a flat-head screwdriver to release any locking mechanisms.
5. Release the Clips: Once the fasteners are removed, there may be plastic clips or tabs securing the bumper cover to the vehicle's body. Carefully pry or release these clips using a trim removal tool or a flat-head screwdriver. Take care not to damage the bumper cover or the vehicle's body.
6. Remove the Bumper Cover: With all the fasteners and clips released, gently pull or wiggle the rear bumper cover away from the vehicle's body. Start from one side and work your way to the other, ensuring that all connections and clips have been detached. Be cautious of any remaining electrical connections as you remove the bumper cover completely.

Please note that the exact steps and fastener locations may vary slightly depending on the specific trim level and optional features of your 2008 Nissan Quest. It's always recommended to consult the vehicle's owner's manual or a professional technician for more precise instructions tailored to your vehicle.
Take your time during the removal process to avoid any damage to the bumper cover or the vehicle's body. If you're unsure or uncomfortable performing the removal yourself, it's best to seek assistance from a qualified technician or a reputable automotive service center.

you have to take the tire off, then carefully take off the undercover in the wheel well. be sure to remove all fasteners. Once the cover is off, you should have very easy access to the reservoir. I think there's two bolts, 10mm or 12 mm wrench. And there's a hose clamp on the small hose leading to the radiator that needs to come off too. Good luck.
