Greetings, fellow DIYers! If you're watching this video, it means you're a lot like me—a hands-on, do-it-yourself enthusiast who's not afraid to tackle a project. Today, I'm sharing my experience replacing the hose to my window wiper nozzles in my 2008 Subaru Outback.

Why I Made This Video I'm not a professional mechanic, but I love getting my hands dirty, just like you. When I needed to replace this hose, I scoured the internet for instructional videos, but I came up empty-handed. I also couldn't find a replacement hose at any nearby auto parts stores. Waiting for parts to arrive by order didn't seem like a great option, and I wanted an affordable and convenient solution.

So, I decided to document the process myself to help folks like us. If you're a fellow do-it-yourselfer, you're in the right place.

Step 1: Removing the Clips First, you'll need to pop open your Subaru's hood. Then, take a look at the clips securing the under-the-hood insulation. They have threads, so gently rotate them back and forth while applying outward pressure. Don't rush this step; you want to avoid damaging the clips. Once they're free, carefully remove the insulation.

Step 2: Identifying the Right Hose Under the hood, you'll see multiple hoses, often split by different Y-connectors. For my project, the hose on the far right needed replacing. It's essential to identify the affected hose so you can focus your efforts.

Step 3: Finding the Replacement Hose I couldn't find a matching hose at my local Auto Zone. Instead, I headed to my nearby hardware store, Lowe's. In the plumbing aisle, I found a clear line with a 1/4-inch diameter. It looked like a suitable replacement. I'd read about others using similar solutions on Subaru forums, so I decided to give it a try.

Step 4: Making the Swap With the clear hose in hand, replacing the damaged one was a breeze. Simply remove the old hose and slide the new one into its place. You'll need a pair of needle-nose pliers and a knife for this step.

Step 5: Testing Close your Subaru's hood. Test your wiper nozzles to ensure they work correctly. If everything's in order, congratulations! You've successfully replaced the hose. It's a job well done. Time to put it back together.

Step 6: Finishing Touches & Wrapping Up Finally, put the under-the-hood insulation back in position, using the clips you removed earlier. Remember, take your time and avoid damaging the clips. They're essential to keep the insulation secure.
