Default Help replacing 996 turbo windshield washer nozzles

Hope this is the correct place to post this.

My 996 turbo windshield nozzles are clogged. The pump works well, i disconnected the spray tubing and fluid shot out nicely. I then tried to squirt water and vinegar through each nozzle tubing and was able to unclog one side fairly well but made no headway on the other. Not sure how to remove/replace the nozzles themselves or the cowling that they live in. I don't want to bugger anything.

Was going to try to pass a wire through the exit part of the nozzle but for the life of me i can't well enough down there to see the ports.

If there were a diagram i'd sure appreciate it. thank you.

Take a hair dryer or heat gun on low setting and heat= they will usually clear.

Nice it worked out, I have had tree sap get in them in the past and after removing used very hot water to clear.
