In the recent past I have asked about removing the spray heads for the window washer on my '86. They would not work because they were clogged. Last weekend I had an air compressor out and decided to use it on the spray heads. It worked! I got the air spray attachment, pointed it down the hole and blasted away. It took three tries to get them totally cleaned out, but now they work great. I didn't try this but it my work if you don't have a compressor with an air sprayer attachment. Cut the air fitting from an old inner tube. Put it over the spray head and use the tire air at a filling station to blast out the clog. Be sure to wear safety goggles and don't be surprised it something breaks. This procedure is only for thoes willing to accept the risks involved. No warrenty is expressed or implied. Your mileage may vary. Void in Wisconson and Deleware. Keep left. No waiting. John-Reed '86 Syncro - Glacie Mesa, AZ |
