Windscreen washer jet removal? HELP!

[helloimjammie]

Hey guys need a bit of help here..

so my new mist washer jets came today, but for the life of me I can't get the old ones out?!

how do I get them out? Currently in the bonnet with washer pipes off trying to figure how because I can't just "pop them out"

any tips guys would be so helpful

Anything else you would recommend doing? thanks for the reply!

Lift the bonnet and push from the bottom while the rubber pipe is still connected, they will pop off just need a bit of force

Can the piping take alot of force then? Won't pierce it will it?

Shove a thin screwdriver into the hole and push. If you're not fussed about your old ones that is!

I did mine the other week, grip the underneath with pliers, play around and loosen them up and then push and they will pop out

Into the actual washer jet? Thanks!

Hey guys quick update! The thin screwdriver into the bottom of the jet (where the pipe connects to) worked a dream! literally put a jumper on the windscreen just incase it came out fast and chipped the screen (just being carefull) and with a hit of force it popped out! It felt like there wasn't much of the jet to ruin so they might actually still work!

Mist jets give a more even coverage of water on the screen covered majority of my screen!! Look good sit nicely on the bonnet! work really well with Bosch Retro fit AeroTwin blades




Thanks for the guidance guys


P.s having weetabix or even red bull does help! tried and tested

No problem, I've never swapped the washers my self, so the screw driver thing was a guess. But it's good to hear that it works! And yeah they still might be okay then!

Yeah could easily resell them if I wanted but will keep them as spares I think cheers buddy!
