Advice Needed - How do I fill Hydro-Lectric Fluid Reservoir - 1949 Roadmaster

[Dan O]

I looked at my shop manual and see the fluid fill hole on top of the reservoir but how in the world can I reach it up under the fender?  It looks most easily accessed thru the porthole in the fender but I know that cannot be right.  It is just too tight to get to in place.  Any experience with this anyone? 1949 76c

Generally, you should remove the canister bowl by moving the metal retaining clip that holds the bowl on and fill it.  Then return the bowl and install the clip again after adding fluid to the bowl.
