On Saturday I decided to remove the rear wiper arm to reposition it as it was resting on the channel at the bottom edge to the glass. I loosened the nut and put the wiper arm removal tool on and cranked the handle and the arm came off after a bit of persuasion. What I didn't realise was the rear washer jet protruded from the centre spindle and the pressure of the removal tool snapped it. A check online took me to Youtube and a chap removing his broken jet. He put a screw into the plastic remnants that were stuck in the brass tube and he pulled the entire brass tube which goes through the motor to the hose connection. He then had to dismantle the motor to sort it.

I didn't fancy having to dismantle the tailgate and decided to use a 1.5mm drill bit then a 2mm drill bit to open up the aperture and weaken the grip the plastic had on the brass tube. I then used screw of a suitable size to easily pull the remaining part of the jet out. So today's job is to put the new jet in...
