Windshield Washer Hose: Service and Repair

WASHER HOSE REPAIR

NOTE: This procedure may be carried out on rubber hoses only. If a plastic washer hose is leaking, a new washer hose must be installed.

1. Locate and verify the leaking washer hose.




2. Cut the hose cleanly and remove the damaged portion of the washer hose.
3. Install a windshield washer hose adapter between the cut ends of the hose.
4. Install a segment of 6.4 mm (0.25 in) i.d. black rubber hose over the ends of the washer hose, and clamp both ends of the rubber hose using spring clamps.

NOTE: In difficult cases, clamping may be required.
