Washer nozzle removal w/out removing cowl?
Hey gang,
While I'm doing work over the next week, my washer nozzle is most probably clogged. Is there a way to remove it w/out removing the cowl? Its on an '89 F-150. Single nozzle with the two spray ports.

nope.
but before you remove the cowl, try blowing compressed air into the nozzle and out the line, you may blow out the obstruction.

Yep, a rubber tipped blower may fix it right up.

I used the ole garden hose to back flush mine. Just take off the washer hose(at washer pump) to allow the crud to get out of the system 1st!!!

Thanks guys. I'll try and flush it first. I took the hose off at the reservoir and was able to blow fluid through the ports, but may not have cleared it enough.
