Injectors..........

......... How the hell do they come out of the manifold???
I've got the injector rail off and I've screwed them, pulled them, tentitivly(sp?) prised them and they still won't budge.
TIA

Hi Stu, they have small circlips fitted, remove these first, then the injectors should pull out, they do need a good tug!

[Simon]

Sorry, just re-read it! When doing mine, I left the fuel rail on, pulled the rail complete with the injectors, then removed the injectors from the fuel rail!

Doh!

lever them out with a spanner ( 15 or 17 mm i cant remember)

they do come out, with a bit of effort.

nothing a 4pound hammer wont sort(if you dont want them anymore)
bigger the job, bigger the hammer !!!

I usually twist and pull when getting injectors out, you're going to replace the O ring seals anyway so tug away ;)

I do want them actually. I bought a manifold from the same Dude I got the cracked 'head from. I've already relieved the inlet hole for my 325i TB. Having had the cracked 'head experience, I don't want to chance the injectors in this manifold when I know the original ones on my engine were fine.

I wanna do the TB aswell, bought spare inlet, gonna bore it out(like you've done) and then spray it, maybe black or Calypso Red like the car.
Good luck dude.

This is what I ended up doing. Cheers Graham!
