Washer jet replacement

Post by james » Thu Dec 06, 2007 9:19 pm

My washer jet has been blocked for ages but now I have a replacement. Went to fit it the other day, had one look at it and put the cover back on.

Is it possible to replace the washer jet without...
1. removing the clam (hope so)
2. removing the windscreen wiper motor and assembly (hope so)

Do I just need really bendy fingers?
:?

No, tried it several times and its totally bunged up. Think Ali tried also at the last service. Might have an MOT issue if its not fixed beforehand.

You can change the washer jets with the clam in you just need to lift
the center part of the of the clam.

Any probs give me a call.
