Title: Windscreen washer jets
Post by Neil W on Oct 25^th, 2005, 6:00pm

I am about to replace the windscreen washer jet assemblies (heated version) on my bonnet. Does anyone know how I remove the old ones? I have already removed the noise insulation pad and water pipes from the underside, but can't see the next step. Any advice will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

bit tricky this job,the best way i found with mine was to try to snap the holding lug off of the old one,this is positioned toward the rear of the washer,once this is off,the washer just pushes slightly back toward the rear,NOTE,......if you do do it this way,dont snap the lug off the new one,if you already have the replacements,you will see what i mean....................

dont what ever you try to force it out (the bonnet is easilly creased),always try to remove the rear of the washer jet first..........

Thanks Craig; sounds like one of those really awkward jobs. Waiting for FordPartsUK to send the items, so watch this space for questions about straightening the bonnet ;D.
