Difficulty of replacing rear washer jet on wagon/estate?
This is a repost as the first drew a blank. Maybe better luck now the festive season is over?
------------------------------------------
I have to replace the rear washer nozzle on my 1997 E-class estate. I have the new plastic part already - A 163 860 04 47 - and need to insert it along the axis of the rear wiper motor spindle from inside. Up to now I have always had work done by my local Mercedes dealer but they are quoting me 2 hours labour to do this, whereas I thought it would be a 20 minute job at max by removing the trim and presumably unbolting the wiper motor housing.
I'd like to do this myself if anyone can provide me with some guidance.
Thanks
Dave
