the grill should just squeeze the part to unseat it.

washer nozzles not sure but I'm sure a flat head screw driver would get it off easily, or a butter knife would be better.

I think they're kins fragile look at them you should see a piece that is sticking out which prevents the piece fron comming out.

as for the nozzle, I believe thats how they come off but I'm not sure, if they dont start to give with minimal effort or non damaging effort, then I'd stop and come back here.

Oh god, please tell me you didn't do that. You'll mess up the hood big time.

Just look at the underneath of them (under the hood), and you'll see where to squeeze with a pair of pliers.

Its not hard at all. Just squeeze them on the side that's towards the front and the side towards the back with a pair of pliers and push out at the same time. I think I've used both needle nose and knub nose pliers.

For the grill its really easy, just stick a flathead between the plastic part that holds it in place and the grill, push down and out, one side at a time, it'll come loose from one side then go to the other side. Only the top is held with clips, once you get them out just pull back and up. It sounds harder than it is, if you look you'll understand what I'm talking about. The clips are pretty thick, but be careful not to break them, when i did it i thought i might have broken one, but i didn't, use force but be gentle...
