How to remove hood nozzles?

[RedRaiderSATX]

I’m trying to install a vinyl decal on the hood, but I can’t figure out how to remove the windshield washer nozzles. I’ve dropped the insulator (broke a bunch of pins) and detached the bump stops, but the nozzle sprayers are stuck in there. Immediately regretting this purchase lol.

Those just need to be squeezed from the inside after you remove the hose. There is just a little tap on the top and the bottom you squeeze and they pop out thru the top.

You have to squeeze them, they flare out. I used a pair of needle nose pliers. It isn't difficult, just be patient.

Once you have the fixture loosened, disconnect the rubber hose so you can pull the assembly through.

Thanks! I have the nozzle pushed through. Does the line disconnect at the nozzle? I thought about disconnecting from the pump, but I don’t know how I’d pull the line through since it branches off through both nozzles.

It disconnects at the nozzle.

I’m feeling like an idiot because I cannot get the line disconnected.

I normally pull them off while the nozzle is still seated in its spot in the hood, then remove the nozzle after. All you need to do is pull on it a little harder.

I found it to be difficult too. I ended up grabbing the hose loosely with my needle nose and wobbling it off the male fitting. That made it a good bit easier and I didn’t feel like I was going to pop the hose

Thank you so much for your help. Here’s the end product (still have to reinstall the nozzles).
