Not sure where was the best place to ask this.
I want to fit a new pipe on my rear washer jet but how the hell do you get the washer unit out? I don't want to force it too much in case I break it.

Looking at this it should just pop out with some gentle persuasion -

Maybe only accessible with pillar/roof liner removed or pulled back.

Cheers dude, was hoping I wouldn't have to pull the roof liner out :(

I think you just need to wrap the end of a flat screwdriver in something soft and relatively thin (like an old pillowcase) and lever it out.

The jet has 2 locking tabs inside the pillar and are a bit of a pig to get out without damaging one or both. If you do it won't sit flat against the body. Also if you do damage it and get a new one there are 2 different height jets, one for cars with the big rear spoiler and one for cars without.
The pump just pulls out of the bottle, can be a little tight though.

Thank you very much guys, managed it with a selection of screwdrivers, gaffa tape and a bit of patience!
Just for future reference for someone attempting this...
And it went back in fine too
