Washer Jets Removal and new ones

OK - so have an anoying problem where on the near side washer jet - only one of the holes works!..

So - lifted the jet out the bonnet and disconnected the water hose and put compressed air up it - still doesnt clear that one jet.

Sink it in a little up of bleeched boilding water for 30 mins and re-applied air- STILL not unblocked.

So - I think its beaten me and there is defo something in that jet that isnt coming out.

Then looked at how to remove the washer jets completely.... and I just cant work it out.. The water hoses come off - thats fine.. BUT - both washer jets are connected via the electrical cables for the heated nossels that go to ONE multiplug??
So how are you supposed to get the jets actually off the bonnet to put new ones on when the Jets come out the bonnet from the top - yet they are both joined together under the bonet via cable to one plug??

What have others done ?? Am I missing something??

Oh - and are these still available from the OPC to buy does anyone know?

thanks

Anthony

I bet you're right - let us know for definate
 
I just stuck a sewing needle into the blocked one on mine, gave it a wiggle around and it worked fine. Seems simpler if you haven't tried it.[:)]
 
Ive got one of the alignment tools that also has the unblock side too... Still didnt work - blocked solid.... was wondering if I could find something a little more bendy and poke it right the way through tho?
