How do you remove the panel under the hood

[hdvespa]

Went to use the windshield washer today and noticed they were not working but fluid coming out if the corner of the hood. I assume the line has a break. So how do I remove the liner without damaging it. How do you remove the clips holding it in place to gain access to the lines to the washer fluid nozzles

Have you looked under the hood yet? The break is usually right at the hinge. The plastic lines are junk. I've had good luck using vacuum hose to jump across the break.

The break is somewhere under the panel that I need to pull down

I had to replace one of the washer nozzles that broke at the hose connector.

Pop the round retaining clips with a body panel tool (Harbor Freight).

Recommend you buy some replacement clips such as these:

The clips tend to break when levered out.

Hardest part of job is climbing up into the engine bay to do the repairs.

As mentioned get the Interior trim removal tool. Harbor freight or your local parts store ! Should all be less the 10$

Those hood retainer clips are tough to remove. I tried every tool I have and none worked. The plastic ones are not strong enough, they just bend. I finally bought this type of tool, it was the only one that worked

That should do serious clip popping [emoji2]

Well one of the ports broke at the nozzle and while messing with the hose I broke the other nozzle. Now I need to replace both nozzles. Any recommendations on which ones to buy and from where

I believe Dorman has a pair and they usually make a good product and your local auto parts store may have them in stock

Easy to do, but do them both. Heat causes the plastic to dry and become brittle over time. You'll likely need to adjust the spray afterwards to direct it where you want it to hit on the windshield as well. Just use a safety pin or the like

I had to use a tool that is used for an entirely different job. But it did work perfectly, you could use side cutters if you are gentle not to cut the plastic peg. The picture will give you an idea of the tool needed.
