Clear windshield wiper lines/replace motor?
Can someone point out where to access the windshield wiper feeder tube(s)?
is there a break point further along the line than where it comes out of the filling reservoir?
how does one go about clearing it without thrashing (bursting by using high pressure air) all the tubing? Or... is it pretty hardy stuff and just have at it?
The pump also seems to be really weak. anyone had to replace the pump for the windshield water system? It's really annoying (on verge of dangerous) as any road spray pretty much forces me to stop driving and clean the windshield manually.

The washer pump looks like it is pretty easy to service and clean. Here is a link on how to do it ...
1996 Bronco/F-Series Workshop Manual
Click on -> Body -> Wiper & Washer System.
You will have to remove the cowl to gain access to the pump hoses.
The above link will show you how.

If you have to remove the cowl, you can do it without removing the hood, but if I was to ever do it again. I'd remove the hood. its a tight fit to get it out with the hood on. There are some screws up along the window line, and a few under the hood.
The tabs on the fender's are the parts that get you hung up. I ended up scratching the paint pretty bad on my old truck when removing it for a new windshield wiper motor.
While your in there, make sure to check the bushings on the wipers where they connect to the motor.

On my 97 the electrical connection is but the actual pump is inside the reservoir. Never had to mess with it though as I can wash the top of cab just by turning it on. Sucker really shoots a lot of fluid.
