The direction of twist doesn't matter in this case.  You would be trying to
position the tabs on the back of the nozzle so they will come through a slightly
larger hole.  The hole is shaped like a cross, with two opposing arms of the
cross a bit longer than the other two.  When you twist the nozzle 90 degrees,
its holding tabs will line up with the longer of the two arms on the
cross-shaped hole.  It still takes quite a bit of pulling to get it out, and
this ruins the nozzle.  Be sure to have a replacement before removing one.
