Default How do you remove windshield washer nozzels?

Going to add wide stripes to my hood and need to remove the windshield washer nozzels and do not have a clue where to start. Do I need to remove the under hood pad to remove the nozzels? Thanks in advance.

yes, you can remove the entire pad or just pull the rear clips and let the back half drop down... pull off the hoses, pinch the clip and remove the nozzle

Thanks, one more question. Do you just pull the clips off of the hood pad and do they break when removed or can they be reused?

They can be re-used, but if you are not careful when removing, they sometimes break as well....I use a pair of side cutters to remove them. But one of the methods that seems to work best, is to use an old fork. Spread the center two tines of the fork apart a bit, carefully slide the fork tines under the clip, not puncturing through the hood liner, then press down on the fork to pop out the pins...
