Andy,
I wenr through the same thing when I decided to replace mine while I had
the dash out to replace the wiring harness. Wish I'd left them alone. The
replacements from Moss have a smaller diameter shaft than the originals. The
result is that you'll have a miserable time trying to get a water-tight seal on
the cowl. With luck you'll be able to unscrew the nuts from under the dash and
remove the squirters without damage. You'll probably have to create your own
sealing gaskets for reassembly. Sorry to have to put a bad spin on it, but
BTDT.
