Im gonna be fitting my polished inlet this week, Is there anything to bear in mind whilst taking the injectors out for the old inlet??

Any tips on removing them or is just a tug and out jobby??

Also should i do any cleaning on them?? If so what with??

Is it worth replacing the injector seals at the same time??

Anything else I can do whilst there out?/?

Thanks
Neil

new O ring seals to be on the safe side and a spray with carb cleaner is the minimum! Just a pull and push back on..

If pushing and pulling doesn't work, try a twist.. Mine were a pain to get out but went in with new rings with no problems :cool:

A touch of fairy liquid on the seal may help insertion(as the actress said to the bishop..)
