My washer nozzles came right out on my 79 mgb. What I did was reach up under 
the dash (yes, It can be done and you can see the bottom of both nozzles)
disconnect the tubes and then pry them out from the top.  I was pretty
destructive with the old ones too since I was replacing them but I'm sure you 
can push them out from the bottom if you want to try and reuse them.
If I remember correctly the driver's side was a little easier to get to
than the passenger side.  The late model, black nozzles are still available
and cost about $2.50 a pop.

More than likely. I just broke down and had to buy some. 
Let me tell you it was not easy either.  After going to all of the home
improvement stores in the area, (Lowe's, Home Depot, Sears, etc) and getting
blank stares when I asked for pozi-driv, I finally had someone suggest I go to
an industrial supply warehouse.  They had what I needed.
I also know that Snap-on and Seven Enterprises (800)992-7007 have them as well.
