Anyone now how to get the little black washer bodies off the vehicle body without breaking them?
Look as tho should just lever off but not coming -nor with twist and lift either....

Pipes keep blocking and found washer bottle half full of mud and sand (came with it from scotland I reckon ) so trying to get whole lot off and replace without breaking anything.

Cheers

.....and arms not long enough to do from glove box...

should be easier than I'm making it - off all the time for resprays?

I found it easiest to just buy 2 new ones.

Just pull the old ones out, if they break, they break, but no bother if you have the replacements ready.

Real important to make sure that the bottle is as well sealed as possible, not only does it stop the muck getting in the bottle. But it also helps to stop the fluid draining back down the pipes.
Now mine is well sealed the fluid comes out of the jets almost immediately, meaning the bugs get spread across your screen much less.

If your replacing the pipes as well, tape the old ones to the new and pull them through.

Just pull the old ones out, if they break, they break,

You're right of course -just wanted to finish it now while still dark, cold and wet..... - I'll get some new ones and try again tomorrow!
Cheers

Forget that!

Cut crap-filled bend of pipe off at bottle end, then blast through with 50psi from electric air pump with lilo adapter!
Wiggled pin in holes as blasting and all manner of crap came out. Fitted new pipe section with rubber sleeve and good as new!

Why is it that I always first think pulling everything apart and renewing is a good idea??
