Washer Jets

I have a small problem with my main washer jets. Well, one of them anyway. It appears to be blocked.
Got 3 working perfectly well but that one is winding me up now. 
Done the poking with a pin bit, but no matter how much I do that, it remains in-operative.
Any tips?

Try actually removing it and then cleaning it out... A back flush should work but if its off the car and in your hands then its musch easier to get at and clean.. Its obvioulsy blocked quite badly.... thats what I would do any way.. or get a ' new' one from the local scrap yard or BAZ .....

I did think about taking it off for a look, but... how do they come off exactly?
Never done it before so excuse my stupidity

Blimey, and I was poised with a flat blade screwdriver to do just that!  
Cheers though Craig. I will have a pop at that tomorrow... after I've sorted the handbrake out
