grab hold of them with a pair of mole grips etc and turn them, probably wont survive but they are sold at most places to replace them!!!

Turn them an 1/8 to 1/4 and pull them out.
You will, most likely, render them useless in doing so.

Have a spare set ready, make sure that the water pipes don't fall back inside the body.
Tis a bugger of a job getting the pipes back out.

As an alternative to the standard single widdle jets you can slap in a pair of Pug 307 spray jets.

Nope, don't think so.
I did mine counterclockwise.
