clogged washer squirter nozzle

Anyone know any tricks to unclogging a wiper nozzle that won't spray?

I tried a needle, but couldn't get down in there enough.

Maybe compressed air?

Does anyone sell reproduction nozzles for our trucks (67-72) mine is a 72.


Thanks,

Re: clogged washer squirter nozzle

Wire brush bristle, if the clog is near the end of the nozzle. Break one off the brush (pliers work well). It will be stiff yet flexible, and very small diameter.

Re: clogged washer squirter nozzle

Welders tip cleaners are stronger.
Used for cleaning the tiny holes on their gas ax!
And they're made like a tiny file, so they clean the bore out completely.

Like here.

Thanks,
Once you get it unclogged, you should use only washer fluid it the system. Straight water grow algea in the tank and hoses, this is what causes the plugage majority of the time

Re: clogged washer squirter nozzle

You can also soak them Super Clean, Purple Power,, etc. As an added boost, we clean small parts like these in a crock pot with the cleaners. Works great....

Re: clogged washer squirter nozzle

Drop them in a bowl with CLR or similar and leave there over night. Blow them out.

Re: clogged washer squirter nozzle

I have successfully used an ultrasonic cleaner to clean flux out of silver soldered fuel lines. It may work on ww nozzles. You could soak them in vinegar and ultrasonic them at the same time.
Just a thought,
Russ
