Washer jet removal?

Post by AlandAnn »

Can anyone tell me the correct method for removing my washer jets so I can fit twin jets?
I've tried a steel flat blade in between the metal and the washer jet but she ain't budging.

Thanks All.

They are tenacious! If you remove the instrument pod you can just about see the drivers side one, the other is a blind grope about under the dash.
Long nose pliers are a help.

90 degree twist on mine when I had to remove them. Elongated hole was underneath them.

I bought some of those twin jet ones. They didn't seat down firmly, moved about and would let water in from underneath. I put some standard ones back on ;)

I've just looked at your post and decided to leave them in. Why change it if it's not broke.

Thanks.

Agreed, I wished I had not started messing with them. The old std ones had become very hard, and so would not clip in nicely and seal. I finished up having to buying new standard ones :roll:
