Exclamation Windshield Washers Reversed!

Okay I bought the Z about two weeks ago and noticed that the washer nozzles for both the front and rear are reversed. When I try to wash the windshield the wipers work correctly, but it sprays in the back, like wise vise versa. Nissan told me that the passenger side fender has been replaced due to an accident , and the hoses have accidentally been switched. How do I switch them back, dealer wanted $100. How do I access the washer tank and hoses?

The windshield washer fluid tank is behind the bumper on the passenger side. I'm not sure how difficult it is to access the hoses though.

Jack it up, remove the bolts that hold the bottom plastic engine cover thingy (it covers the bottom of the engine including Oil drain plug and filter). You should then be able to get under there, reach your hand up and swap the hoses.

The car is under warrenty but the previous owner had wrecked it. The body shop that fixed it made the switch. So therefore the factory warrenty wont cover it.
