So, since the last freezer we had here this winter my passenger side squirter got somehow rotated a bit counterclockwise so the squirter's now are doing this..

Left Side . . Right Side .

I pulled the hose and the nozzle to clean it all up, put a little bit of tri flow around the metal part of the nozzle where the holes are and used a micro-pliar to try to twist it back into position to no avail..

If you have a quick cure or trick for this let me know, if not no big, I'll just grab a spare from ToyConnection this week.

medical needle works great .. you might need to spray some "viener slider" to loosen up the ball

I'm gonna try to warm it up with a hair dryer and try the pliars and spray along with some #5 sewing or surgery needles. FWIW micro plairs are for surgery, they're the one's they use when stitching up veins and arteries, high grade steel ftw!

[EDIT] The silicone spray was the trick while using the needles and pliars. Sprayed it all down and let it soak in for about 3 minutes, got them evened out and while doing so apparently popped the ball back in (reason again being is the system froze up in the winter). Then all I had to do was hit the squirter to check the evenness and then go back and fiddle a little with the height.
