I want to remove aliens & disconect/remove motor. What size plug etc do I need?
I'm not familiar with the setup so...
I hear there are two washer motors... one runs the windshield washers and the other the aliens. Which one is which?? Can I completely remove the aliens motor?
If I do that, what will need to be done to plug the fluid lines off so I don't leak fluid? Where do I need to plug it off at and most importantly... what do I use to plug the line and in what size!!
Thanks!

The pump (lower on in the photo) is integral to the tank, so you sorta have to leave it there..Unplug the motor electically if you don't want to accidentally trigger it. Plug is at the motor base..

Where the rubber line transitions to the alien disconnect. Just cut the rubber, slip in a 1/2 inch bolt 3/4 inch long and Put a hose clamp on it. Use a little silicone to seal it good, or just find a smooth unthreaded plug. You'll be good to go and all set to hook up mister lines in the future if you decide!

because I hate the stupid things...
it never fails... I have a nice clean car or something and I use the windshield washers at night and even though I try to barely tap the washer stalk I manage to trigger the aliens and it ruins my wax job
that and I want to install the FMIC one day so might as well get that part over with now lol
