    The passenger side nozzle strong. The driver side…nothing (it dribbled for awhile). I stuck a pin in the hole and reamed it around. I thought I went deep enough but didn’t want to poke through the hose. Is the problem further back in the line or something? I have a fiberglass noise dampener attached to the hood, and don’t want to break a holder clip removing it. I can still reach under it to a degree. Is the hose to nozzle really on tight? Removing it would tell if no water getting up to the nozzle. Is it still the nozzle maybe? Do they pop out easy? How? Could the problem be further back? P.S. My filler has a screen, I sorta doubt a pebble got in. Hard water buildup? I usually use already diluted mix.

    Just replace it or soak it in white vinegar overnight. They are easy to remove.

    Disconnect the tube at the nozzle. Try the nozzle. If it flows the nozzle is blocked. If it doesn’t the blockage is farther back. Repeat test farther back.

    Thanks. How? Pry it with a small flathead screwdriver from the underside or what? Is it all one piece?

    It is all one piece. You can use a small plastic pry tool or a flathead. Taping up the flat head might help to protect the hood. Go from the bottom (see video below). Can be a PITA the first time they are removed.

    I would just replace them - these have a much better pattern.

    I did that Honda swap. Only comment is to remove the old nozzles and run the pump to clear any debris out. Not that there will be any there but since you’re there, it makes sense.

    I’ve been asked why the nozzles seem better than stock before so they must be a lot better.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    Pumps get old and tired after 10 years let alone almost 20.

    Have you ever replaced the pump?? What about the hose? Most times the first problem every thing gets replaced.
