    Greetings to all.
    The passenger side wiper fluid hose somehow got torn in half. At first, I thought a rodent might have chewed it in half, but I am not sure the metal edge of the hood pocket it slides into may have done via vibration while driving. The tear is a diagonal tear and doesnt look "chewed". It looks more like a jagged tear.
    That said, I have to remove the spray nozzle assembly to replace the tubing and am unsure how it comes out. I dont want to accidentally break or crack it by not knowing what I am doing.
    I did a "search", but didnt find any removal info. My apologies if I overlooked it. Thanks for any guidance.

    You'll need new ones once removed.

    Thanks for the reply and the drawings. Also, why is a new one necessary just to replace the hose? Thanks.

    I think it might break at removal or loose the tight fit...maybe.

    Nozzle does just poop out with screwdriver tip. You do not need to take it out to replace hose just grab the hose and twist and pull off (worst case use pliers gently grab and pull - do not crush the nozzle end.

    The pocket under the hood (where the hose goes in) is too deep and too narrow to get my hand in. As such, I would not be able to insert a new piece of tubing on the sprayer with it in place.
