Canadian model front bumper removal

I'm looking to self install the Mazda air dam and have read many threads on the front bumper removal with photos and such, all of which make it clear this is not a difficult job.

However, none of them have shown a bumper with the headlight washers and provided any detail on how these detatch from the bumper when it's being removed. Anyone have any information on this? Preferably someone who has actually removed one of these bumpers, rather than the U.S. version?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Detach the washer hose at the passenger side lower...when you remove the bumper...otherwise the same as US Spec bumper

I've done it a couple of times and it's not that different than with the US spec. Follow the US instructions and the only thing extra that you have to do is to disconnect the line/hose coming from the washer fluid reservoir. I pinched it off with some locking pliers to prevent the washer fluid from continually leaking out. Other than that, it's just a matter of pulling the hose from the connector near the headlight washer. Good luck!
