Removing washer jets - Saxperience

Ive done a search but cannot find a detailed explanation of how to remove them from the bonnet, I have got the older MK1 4 x jet ones and want to change them as one isnt working. Had a look yesterday but could not get them to budge so can someone tell me exactly how to remove them

Never done them before but would guess they push out from underneath the bonnet,that way you wouldn`t scratch the paintwork.

you just tap them out.. if your having trouble getting the pipe off them too.. i used some hot water to expand them slightly to get them off.

They kinda click in and open up - wedged in a bit like an arrow head. If you are knocking them out, careful you don't kink the bonnet under the jet . If you wanna do a neat job you have to push the side jaggy bits back towards the nozzle then it should come out quite easy (try using a pair of needle nose pliers to get in at them to close them in). Are they blocked or are you upgrading them?

One of the jets is not working at all and I have blown it out several times with air so Im gonna take this oppurtunity to upgrade them.
Cheers for the advice - repped
