Removing Windshield Washer Nozzle

The hose to my washer hose broke inside the space in the hood where the hose connects to the nozzle so I need to replace that section of hose. It's a really tight space where the hose connects to the nozzle so trying to figure out how to remove the nozzle without breaking it. Anyone familiar with what I need to do to remove it?

 

Thanks!

 

Thank you for posting this. Exactly what I needed today and why I love this forum.

 

The diagram says the nozzle can't be reused after being removed. Is that right? I need to check my hoses for clogs since the driver side nozzle is spitting all over the hood instead of the windshield. Don't want to have to buy new ones if not necessary.

 

Only if it's ruined or clogged...soak them in CLR or water/vinegar...I've replaced mine with higher aim angle just because I wanted to try if it's better on higher speeds. Works well for me.

 

Thanks. Just found cheap ones on Ebay and ordered extras in case I ruin them.

 

You won’t. I found some from an old tundra in the junk yard to test fit. I used a sharp blade to trim the tab to matched my OE and it works too! Unless they’re really brittle or really cold temp…
Also, don’t mess with the hole for the spray pattern…ask me me how I know. Lol

 

lol I get it. I first tried the old school "put a paper clip in to clear any debris" method and quickly realized that's no longer valid. I have looked it over really well (not easily done while it's in place on the hood) and it doesn't look like I did any damage. Doesn't look... But my problem is exactly the same before and after the paper clip attempt.
The ones I ordered supposedly won't be here until Sept, so I guess I'm spending the summer with a filthy windshield. That's what I get for paying $3/pair on Ebay.

 

I recently dealt with that too and after cleaning my original ones with no success and seeing the quality of some of the cheap China knockoff sprayer nozzles on my wife’s car I bit the bullet and just ordered some OEM on sale.
This thread was super helpful as I couldn’t figure out how to take them out and I didn’t want to risk braking them.

 

Yes, OEM is the way to go.

 

Isn’t there a mod that guys have done to change the angle of the sprayers?

 

I’ve replaced mine with a higher degree angled nozzles. I believe they’re all fixed angles.
I tried messing with the angles with a safety pin and it got ruined.

This is where I got my replacement part numbers. The +2° works well for me, specially on higher speeds.

Finally got around to installing the cheap Chinese nozzles. They suck. They sprayed on an angle and fell out when I opened the hood. Nothing broken, etc. I cleaned the OEM nozzle and replaced it. Same issue. Replaced several sections of hose. Same problem. I got annoyed and pushed down on the hood cowling, which moved like 1/4". So I stuck a pencil between the hood and cowling- and the sprayers work just fine. So that's the damn problem, which Safelite said it wasn't... So now I'm going to remove the cowling (one of these days) and check if they broke clips. Too much other stuff to do today, but man this is really annoying. Isshe has been going on for almost a year. I'm sure Safelite will tell me to go scratch if I call them to fix it after this long. I wouldn't blame them, but I'm so pissed I wasted money and time on the hose and nozzles.
