Question D2 Washer Pump - does it just pull out...?

Quick question. Want to clean filter while I have bumper off. Does the pump just pull out of the bottle...? How does it actually detach?

Thanks,
Zip

The pump is attached to the tank by a rubber seal and just pulls out and disconnects but from what I remember tank will steadily drain itself from the hole left unless you plug it with some Blutac or something like that.

Didn't find any sort of filter as such, but gave everything a could clean out, and all good now.
