I've got a 91 740 wagon. My right windshield washer nozzle always seems
to be the one to plug up. How do I get them out? I want to try to soak
it in vinegar or something, to see if I can dissolve the mineral
deposits, or whatever is clogging it.

The nozzles have plastic tabs that hold them in place. If you can get under
them with a pair of needle nose pliers, you might be able to squeeze the
tabs enough to get the nozzle out without breaking it.

The nozzles are so cheap that I usually just rip them out and replace with a
new one.

HTH,

put a fish tank filter on the line when you clean out the nozzle as well
flush out the water washer tank often .
