This is my second attempt to post my question. No idea what happened to the first one!
A rat has decided to chew through the window washer lines. I have fixed the passenger side but need to get the little pisser on the other side out. I have managed to loosen it but will not come out. Any help please?

What exactly are you trying to do? Detach the plastic tube from the washer jet (a hair drier to soften the tube helps) or remove the jet from the scuttle?

Trying to remove the washer jet as I need to replace the chewed up hose very close to the jet. Thanks

If it's one of the black plastic jets the shank is threaded with a nut to hold it in place. Is that how yours is?

Problem solved. There was a nut to undo. Thanks for your help.
