    Windscreen washer outlet jet

    So I'm sick of having a muddy windscreen. How do I remove the windshield washer yet from the bonnet so I can have a good go at unblocking the jet?

    Hopefully this isn't too basic a question, but this thing's got me stumped so far.

    Would anyone have a spare if mine is terminally blocked?

    Thanks in advance.

    cheers

    Use a big hammer and/or grinder.

    Cheers Lads.

    I've done a kind of unblock, but the stream is feeble most of the time so it needs a better fix.

    Looks like it's two bits - one underneath where the hose attaches and the outlet itself. Haven't worked out how to separate them without breaking them. Maybe hand me that hammer and grinder...

    Any and all comments welcome. There's got to be an easy way to do it.

    Thanks.

    it clips in- use a screwdriver to push the sprung side in, and then push the jet out of the bonnet. dont stab yourself in the hand.

    cleaning them out is easy - use compressed air and blow BACK through the jet from the ball through the other way.
