Greetings a.a.v

This might appear an over-cautious attitude on my part but I thought it
better to ask, just in case ....

The rear windscreen washer nozzle on my 1998 V40 is well and truly
blocked. Poking with a pin simply pushes the blockage back a bit, and it
returns, as they so often do.
I will need to remove the nozzle for a proper cleaning, but before I do,
does any one know of any problems removing the thing? Any delicate
projections that snap easily, etc?

Any advice or experiences gratefully received.

Cheers

I am not familiar with the design but can't you just remove the hose and
blow it out from the nozzle end with an air hose? Then run the washer for a
moment with the hose detached to flush out any debris that may linger in the
hose.

I'll go easy. Neither am I familiar with the design and don't know how
much slack Volvo have allowed, for the pulling out of stuff.
