My nozzles are blocked. Have replaced the whole system from the reservoir to the hoses. Apparently the original motor had a filter screen that fell apart and clogged everything. now have fluid coming out fine at hoses but when i hook them to the sprayer nozzles it just dribbles out. tried clearing them with a pin and compressed air but no luck. Purchased an aftermarket set of nozzles, my question is how do i get the old ones off. would rather not just try breaking them out, but i can't see any clips or such and the chiltons manual i have doesn't even mention them. please help as i am tired of reaching out the window to throw water on the windshield so i can see. Have used you guys beforwe with good results.

Thanks
Mike

They "snap" in, but generally if original they will break, you can get new ones from Toyota for $16 each or so.

Use a pair of needle nose pliers and break them if you have to. Do this from under hood.
