How to Remove S10 Windshield Washer Nozzles
There's nothing more important than visibility when driving. You can remove the S10 windshield washer nozzle if you need to unclog the nozzle, the hose going to the nozzle, or if you want to replace the nozzle with a fancy LED nozzle for that "pimped out" look. A leading cause of clogged nozzles is frozen washer fluid in the hoses, nozzles, or reservoirs. Be sure that you use winterized windshield washer fluid during the winter season in your S10 to prevent this common problem.
