Default DIY Windshield Washer Pump Replacement?

I am trying to remove the ww pump off the back of the washer resivoir so I can access the abs control module. The hose that is on the resivoir tank near the front of the car looking from the wheel well. Any help?

Pull the fender liner and remove the entire resivoir. It is easier off the car.

Default Opps, I forgot about that. I believe it goes to the headlight washers. I need to pull the bumper..

to get to it. But I have an RS4 bumper, so it comes off more easily than the stocker. There is a "T" behind the bumper on the driver's side. You cannot remove the bumper without breaking this connection. Pull the clip and remove the hose. The washer fluid will drain out, so have a bucket or a drain near by.

Default I can get to it from the wheel but I can't see what I'm doing in order to get the hose off...

is there a clip or something there that I can't see? Trying to avoid taking the bumper off since I'm only a novice and slowly learning things as I go, is the only way to get it off?
thanks in advance

Default Yes. There is a black "horseshoe" shaped clip that slides off. The clip...

rides in the groove on the male/barb end of the hose that fits into the "T".

Be careful, it likes to fly off.
