did not have much luck with this.  boot is on fine.  the line pumps lots
of fluid when i disconnect it.  just won't push it through the nozzle
with any force.  spent a good deal of time trying to remove the
nozzle from the hood, so i could bring in the house and flush out.
but just couldn't get it out.  decided to concentrate on my alternator
problem.

Just had to fix a similar problem in my 89 200tq this weekend.  Driver's
side nozzle was weak.  Unplug the fluid line from the slip-on boot at the
bottom of the nozzle.  Using a spray can of compressed air (available at any
electrical shop, Radio Shack, Sam's, etc.) - hold the thin spray tube
against the nozzles (from the outside of the car) and spray.  Blew some crud
out the boot and nozzle worked fine.  :)
