As I said, I'm describing an earlier style nozzle (as used on my '86). The newer nozzle might be different -- I'm not lucky enough to suffer a '93 245 yet!

The '86 style nozzle has two plastic "barbs" that spead open behind the hole, once pushed through -- much like a toggle bolt that you push through a hole, and then it's there forever (or lost). I've broken several removimg them for exactly the same problem you're fighting. As I recall, though, they're only a few bucks.

When I've pulled them out, the hose comes out with the nozzle a few inches. For the second repair, I was prepared with a bit of masking tape to secure the hose. I learned the hard way on my first repair, and had to snake a leader down through the corner piller to pull up the hose.

Bob Haire suggested an interesting approach -- I'll keep it in mind for the next 245 I tackle.
