2001 Accord windshield washer
 

Our 2001 Accord V6 has had the windshield washer pump fail. Access to
the tank is pretty good through a removable panel underneath. However,
I can't get the connector off of the pump. It's filled with a
waterproofing grease and in an area I can reach with one hand but
can't see. I've managed to pull off some sort of plastic shroud on
the back of it. Still can't pull the connector off the tank, though.
Anybody got an idea what the secret handshake is to get it loose?

This would be a 10 minute job if it weren't for that.
