You have to take the wheel off, then the liner in the wheel well and then remove the tank etc. I'm not looking forward to it but it bugs me that the jets just drizzle out water.

Instructions for accessing the tank are likely on here somewhere. If not I they are on the CICCI website if you are a member. Good luck.
I had the tank in and out twice the other week, not fun.

OP
Maybe you could remove the cowl grille and release the hoses from the nozzles and see if its the tubes that are clogged by running them with no nozzles on. Depending on the size of the holes behind the nozzle, maybe just remove the nozzles and run the fluid through.

I remove my tank and the slime inside looked like a high school project.
