Default Screen washer one side not working?

My drivers side screen washer is not working. I have tried
to unblock it with a pin and no joy also pulled the pipe off
under the bonnet and water flows out fine so not pipe
blockage or pump failure.

How are the jets removed from the bonnet? Do they unscrew, twist
off....

Just had a look under the bonnet and the washer hose disappears
into a hole which is too small for my fat fingers to gain access!

Its a my97 uk turbo wagon.

Well I sorted it. Managed to get the washer jet out with the
aid of a flat head screwdriver then removed the driver side
pipe and found the only problem was the restrictor so binned
it and replaced with a new piece of silicon hose and it's
working great now.

Cheers
for the help.
