Default Single washer nozzle blocked

What with from weather of late, annoyingly, one bonnet washer jet has stopped working and of course it would have to be the nearest drivers side one. It is not a pump, bottle or tube problem as the other three jets all work fine. I have taken off the under bonnet insulation to access the jet and disconnected the water tube to remove the actual jet nozzle. Couldn't. Does anyone know how the actual black washer jet is removed from the bonnet please?

I think there is a bit of plastic on the nozzle that you press to cloe it towards the nozzle and then it just pushes out to the outside of the bonnet.

Try poking a pin or needle into the ball of the nozzle, that often clears them

Works every time for me !
But as said , you have to get it into the hole in the little ball in the nozzle .

In the past I have pulled a bristle off a wire brush and poked it with that
Works for me.
Hold the bristle with a pair of pliers so it don’t stick in your finger

Thanks for suggestions. Yes I did try the pin trick to no avail, hence wanting to remove it and soak it, so will try again. Of course its raining again now!

I try blowing through with an airline from the outside, pipe disconnected on the inside. Usually works OK for me
