Default How to fix windshield wiper nozzle?

The left hand windshield wiper nozzle on my 1988 240 volvo is not spraying anything (the right one works). I figure the nozzle is blocked.

How does one remove the nozzle, from underneath the hood? On top it is just a round cap of hard rubber or plastic, can I pry it off to get to a nut underneath?

The hole in the nozzle looks too small to run a wire through.

Thanks

Don't pry off the nozzle. Run a thin wire through the hole. If you can get at the hose on the bottom of the nozzle, make sure it's cleared out.

Thanks. I found a wire thin enough and cleaned it out.
