Remove them on the car by swinging on them, and fit them off the car with a great feck off clamp!

A bit of lube on the o-rings helps too! Clean rail and manifold bores well as they are a bit on the tight side

Injectors will pop out while connected to the rail if persuded enough, not a great job but not hard to do, be cardul not to nip the o rings when relocating back as thus will cause a bit of a leak.....

 

Make sure all are located all the way home

Best to take them out when the engine is hot. They'll come out really easily :D

 

Relieve the rail pressure via the little allen bolt first though.

Don't replace the injector seals unless you're feeling rich as they're £3.50 EACH from the stealer.

I'm in the process or replacing mine right now.

Why din't I check the injectors when I rebuilt the engine a couple of months ago. DOH!

 

Had a clearance issue while trying to extract an allen bolt near the middle of the upper manifold,

kept catching on the dipstick tube and the fan cowling.

Required an inch to be cut off a 6mm allen key to get it.

Other than that removing them has been easy.

I'll see what else happens when I refit them them tomorrow...

 

I found this place;

for spares.

 

Do you have another set to go back in, or are you reconditioning them?
