[s-cars] Removing washer nozzles

[S-cars mailing listJR]

When I say "pulled on the nozzles" I mean  pulled straight forward from 
the front of the car.  I was standing parallel to and facing the front 
of the headlight and pulled the nozzles towards myself.

Thought I better specify so someone doesn't read this a snap their 
nozzles into a million peices by pulling them off sideways.  :-P
