Is there a 'how to' or can anyone advise on the removal of the original Omega jets and how the Insignia jobbies are fitted.
(Removing the plastic covers is not an issue )

[feeutfo]

they are a straight swap. Only hard bit is removing the water pipes, just pull, and removing the heaters as said previosly.

Suggest do pass side first to get the idea as its easier.
Drivers side is more of a fiddle as the foam insert is in the way, but this can be moved aside without removal.

Re heaters, basic appproach is to lever them out with a small flat blade screw driver, but you may find they'll only come out by cutting down between heater moulding and jet body by 5mill or so first.

Straight forward otherwise. Dont worry if the clips scuttle to jet brake off. They arent needed ime.

Aiming them, use small screwdriver in the outside slots, not the jet holes.

So it's a case of literally just pulling/levering the jets downwards to remove from the plastic covers ?

I gave mine a sharp blow from above with a mallet.....do it when the suns been on that part of the car for an hour or 2 or pour some warm water on the plastic first to warm it and soften it a little.

Sounds like a plan !
