    Windshield washer

    How do you remove the washer head on the hood/ I've searched & can't find the info. Mine doesn't spray, only drizzles. I know, no silly comments. Need to fix this one or get a replacement.
    If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!

    Try using a sewing needle and put in the holes.

        From my washer aiming thread...

        Originally posted by Bert View Post
        You can release the nozzle from inside the hood by squeezing the two ears that keep it in place. It's not easy to see or reach (I use a piece of metal tubing or needle nose pliers). The jets do articulate (ie they can be aimed by moving them with a pin or stiff wire) but often they are stiff or seized. Many different cars use similar or identical setups so scavenging one from a wrecker is often just as easy and then you'll learn how to remove one without breaking the ears.

            Yea, I read that. Could not find any "ears". Tried usein' some curved hemostats, didn't work. Cleaned holes with needle already, think part that hose fits is rusted. probley need a new/old one. Thanks for the help.

              90 degree pick tool works perfect to move the "ears" and release it, it's easy.

                    It pumps fine with the tube removed. Thanks, I'll try again.

                        I did that once on a car and blew up the washer bottle! It was actually pretty hilarious!
