DundeeDub 0 Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 basically how do you do it, i have the lower manifold etc off the car, got all the clips off and undone all the bolts on the fuel rail but can't get either end out, any hints??[ Edited ] Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 you've got the lower manifold off?? or upper?the fuel rail has 2 bolts at the top and 2 at the bottom and the injectors are held into the fuel rail and the lower manifold by the rubber o rings... they're basically just a very tight fit and usually require a good bit of twisting and pulling to get them out!

binliner 0 Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 yeah I know what you mean... you worry you're going to break something!if theyre still stuck in the manifold it might be easier to pull them out if it was on the car Link to post Share on other sites

trackman 0 Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 I had the same prob, Ended up just leaving them cos I was scared of busting them. Are you getting them cleaned or replacing them? Link to post Share on other sites

mightyvr6 0 Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 If you think getting the out is hard you should try putting them back in as that's a PITA as well. Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 yeah, agree with that one too, lol. you have to push them all in at the same time, i just used the rubber shaft of a hammer to see them home. Link to post Share on other sites
