Things You'll Need:
- Pin or sewing needle (optional)
- Hose cutter
- Vacuum connectors
-
Step 1
Determine if your windshield-washer tubing is clogged. Occasionally the little holes on the ball of the sprayer become clogged from washer fluid build-up or from hard water. You don't need to replace the tubing if this is the case. Simply use a pin or sewing needle to poke a hole to eliminate any debris.
-
Step 2
Purchase windshield-washer tubing from a car parts store. The tubing might also be referred to as vacuum tubing. You don't need a specific part number.
-
Step 3
Locate the tubing, which can be found near the windshield-washer fluid tank. This is on the left side of the engine compartment next to the power steering fluid reservoir.
-
Step 4
Remove the tubing. Be careful around the vacuum connectors. Try not to break or disfigure them if you plan to reuse them.
-
Step 5
Hold up the old windshield-washer tubing if you plan to replace the entire section. Place the new tubing next to the old, using the old as a guide to the length your vehicle needs. Use a hose cutter to cut enough of the new tubing to fit your Toyota Tundra.
-
Step 6
Place the new tubing in your Tundra. Use the old connectors, or insert the new ones, and ensure the tubing doesn't interfere with any other engine parts. When closing the hood, be extra cautious to make sure the tubing doesn't get bent.
