Fix, or replace the nozzle? Take apart & clean with compressed air? ( Driver's side is fine )

I have not had to replace (yet). I have found that an ultrasonic cleaner works well to break up deposits, and/or a soak in some slightly acidic liquid, like vinegar or citric acid.

Since, I can't raise the wiper very high, it's a pain, to get a good look at the sprayer. and how to carefully remove it... I disconnected the tube, and blew compressed air into it ( toward the nozzle )..... Air came out..... But now, it "bubbles" out of it, and sprays slightly.
I may have screwed up the nozzle tip? I'm going to buy a replacement, and then remove the arm to replace.....

Unless you stuck something in there (a needle, pin, etc.) the chances of you damaging the tip are low. Perhaps a syringe with tubing and warm vinegar soltuion might help clear up the obstruction? New always works as well. I like that solution when I just don't have the time or desire to mess around.

Using the air pressure, air did come out..... But it is a "messy" spray now ( mostly bubbling out - little spray). I will buy a new nozzle, then see if the air pressure caused the tube to leak behind the nozzle tip?
Now.... I will search, for somebody has that little widget in stock .... Wish me luck....

Buy the earlier version of the wiper arms. The 2000-2002 ones will allow you to raise them up higher above the glass. Other than that function they're identical. See this post for the comparison:

ISO: Wiper arms with splines

2004 Z71 5.3L Does anyone know where to purchase wiper arms with the splines in the bolt holes? My truck has a wiper arm post made for splines in the wiper arms, but can't find any arms in retail sites that are built for splines. Any help is appreciated!

I search for a wiper nozzle FOR A 2000 TO 2007 YUKON..... Nothing available.
None of the parts houses has any for these years...... Not Amazon.....
I will attempt the stealer - dealer.....
probably a salvage yard... ( it's come to that?? )

I am not touching the one on my truck, until I have a replacement in my hand!

UP-DATE; Called my local dealer...... They transferred me to parts, as they left them a message to call me.......

3 hours later...... No return call. Dealers suck....

Probably not a part you can buy. So buy the whole arm. Note that the new ones don't come with splines in the mounting hole -- the splines get cut the first time they're installed.

The splines are nylon - like ?
