That about covers it...

Do I turn them CCW (lefty loosey) 90 degrees?

Got a new VIS hood.

I have a new replacement set, and they have a

+

shape on the bottom that snaps into the same shape cutout in the hood. No twisting, unless you want to break them off.

Use some pliers to squeaze together the tabs from the underside. Be careful, they are easy to break.

If I was you, I would buy new ones.

You have to squeeze the tabs from underneath with some skinny needle nose pliers. Takes a little patience, but they will come out.

if you click one tab out with a small screwdriver the easy that side of the washer jet out the keep the pressure on that side whilst you click the other side out.
the clips are front and back.
did this when i painted my car and have dun it on hundreds od mx5's we'v painted 2.

No, none of the above... use a 10mm Craftsman 12 point deep well socket. Remove the sprayer hose and insert the socket in the hole and pull the nozzle out.

pffff they all work. just choose the weapon of your choice.

One would think the easiest and quickest method to be the best, of course, if you prefer to use a method that takes 10 minutes struggling with pliers and screwdrivers in a hole the size of a nickle that could damage the nozzle in the process, more power to you.

Thanks guys!

I dont really ever use em, just the holes look stupid on my CF hood.

Thanks. I actually discovered it by accident. I had to order new nozzles when I had broke the original ones while taking them out (PGT). When I was getting ready to install them, I took them out of the package and put them in my pocket where I also had a socket. When I went to pull them out of my pocket, one was stuck in the socket and it hit me. So after I installed them I got a socket (10mm) that fit in the hole and they popped right out as easily as I had put them in.

This is your best bet if you don't want to break any of the tabs and reuse them.

Veger

like i say .. pfff use the weapon of your choice. its only a 2 second job they dont break uless your a retard with wankin spanners the size of donkeys hoofs u cant get it wrong. just use whatever you got in your pocket at the time.

OMG, what a great tip, I was dreading crimping the tabs to get it off. This will be used for other parts too. Thanks
