fuel injectors
i read the write up by azhitman about changing them. but i never dont fuel injectors before and i cant seem to get the sucker out. i twist it and twist but it doesnt pop out. i am correct in assuming they pull straight out right? anyone know a better way to get em out?

Re: fuel injectors (jamesblonde82)
They do pull straight out. I dunno if its the right way but mine were pretty stubbon so I used a flat head screwdriver and pried on them a little bit and they popped out. Just be careful not to bend or break anything lol

Use 2 people.
Take the metal half-moon caps off. Thread the screws BACK into the holes.
Use the top of the screw as a fulcrum. One screwdriver on each side, leverage them upwards. Unscrew the screws a little to get the proper angle. Be gentle!
To pop them back in, use a socket that fits within the little round circle on top of the injector, put the heel of your palm on the socket, and press it in straight.
Use Vaseline on the rubber o-rings.
NO rocking it or twisting. Has to go STRAIGHT in.
