Replacing washer jet

Hi

Washer jet for front windscreen is blocked with a broken off pin - any ideas to remove pin or instructions on how to replace the jet?

Thanks

New jets about £7.50 from Dan at Duckworths.
The baboons at Chester zoo pulled both of mine clean off and snapped the wires for the heaters.
The new ones have plugs for the wires, very simple, drop the absorbent pad from the under side of the bonnet and you have easy access, squeeze the lugs on the jet and push it up through the hole.
5 minute job Thumbs Up

Thankyou will give it a go - does the sound insulating/pad come off easily without breaking clips?

I used a pair of old wire strippers like these, http://www.cromwell.co.uk/index.php?q=0&am...N5583590K#
Hook them round the head of the own and pull out, I have found from previous experience that if they don't come out straight they can snap, although these on the bonnet are not tight and come out readily Thumbs Up
