Re: How can I remove the (hood mounted )windscreen washer...
- Open the hood of the vehicle for clipped nozzles or nozzles with
retaining screws that are attached to the hood. Locate the nozzles and
hoses attached to the hood. Some vehicles may require
removing an insulated panel that is retained by plastic clips. Pry the
clips out and remove the panel (if applicable).

Note
the way the nozzle is attached to the underside of the hood. Clip-on
nozzles will either be attached by a single clip on one side of the
nozzle and a retaining anchor on the other end. Other clip-on nozzles
may have two retaining clips that need to be squeezed together (with
needle-nose pliers, if necessary). Press the clip or clips inward
towards the nozzle and it will pop out of the hole in the hood. If the
nozzle is retained by screws, simply unscrew them with the screwdriver.
If there are hose clips holding the hose to the hood, unfasten the
clips (by hand) to allow more movement in the hose-to-clip assembly.
some types are bolted with a nut on the underside of the hood, other styles are twisted in
Super_guy, How do you remove the "twisted in" nozzles? I tried cw and ccw with no luck Did not want to break it. Remember the nozzles are not visible from the underside of the hood after removing the insulating panel. Thanks
