How to remove windshield washer jets?
Whenever I try to activate my windshield washer jets on my '07, you'll hear the pump kick on but only dribble out of the jets so I assume they're gunked up. I'd like to pull them off and soak them in some CLR to see if that clears them up. How do you get the jets off though? Thanks.

They erode away and chunks of it get stuck in the nozzles.
You should also make sure the lines are clear before you attach the new nozzles.

Not to be a smart a$$ but..
This might be the simplest thing you will do next to checking tire pressure. Give it a shot and replace the parts.
Raise the hood.
Drain reservoir and take off the rubber seal inside- Then flush it out.
Take off the weather stripping on the front of the cowl.
Go to driver side reach in the middle an push in on the clip holding the cowl in place. There are 1 or 2 more on each side that you will have to push on to get off both sides. They overlap and I think you start on the drivers side.
Unplug the hoses connected to the nozzles.
Pop out the nozzles (small clips on the sides-push up)
Reconnect the hose to the reservoir. Put water in reservoir. Plug up the hose end on the passenger side that the nozzle used to be connected to (I used the clogged up nozzles.) Hit the washer button to flush out debris. Then repeat for the 2nd hose end.
The put everything back together. Try not to break the plastic parts the get very brittle.
Sorry if I forgot any steps but you will figure it out..
The seal from the washer fluid tank and the nozzles. The seal gets broken down by the alcohol in the fluid breaks apart and looses the filter then little black chunks clog up the nozzles.
BUT make sure the lines are clear from debris before you put on the new nozzles! The can not be cleaned out many have tried.
