Re: [DML] Almost fixed

[Chris Almy <chris.almy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dave,
I did this just the other month when replacing the fuel lines. It's not too 
bad except for the ones on the left side of the engine, You have to remove 
the idle speed motor to get to the one in the rear. Jordan put together a 
great How-To that covers this, but it appears his site is down at the moment.

All you really have to do is pop off the clips on the bracket, and the 
injector with seal will come right out. Pull the old seal off and install 
the new one. Once the injector is back, the clips pop right back on. The 
only difficulty is getting to those clips in the tight spots. A bent coat 
hanger might work, but usually isn't strong enough with the leverage you 
need to apply. Try going to the local auto parts store and get a cooling 
hose removal tool. It's basically a screwdriver that is pointed at the end. 
It also has a bend that allows you to get it under the clips. After 30 
minutes of cursing at the brackets, I bought this tool and finished 
removing the injectors in a matter of seconds!

Hope this helps,
Chris
