Editing Fuel Injector Replacement (section)

== Removing the retainer:== 

Each of the injectors has a black plastic retainer to hold it to the inlet port. The retainer is fitted to the injector over an o-ring and held in by a circlip.

Use your circlip pliers and get the circlip off, then using a pick or flat blade pry the old o-ring off the old injector. The retainer will just slide off. You may break the o-ring, don't stress unless you really have to use it again. But the new injectors come with a replacement.

These are the parts you'll get off the old injector:

This is the fuel pressure regulator disconnected from the rail.

* I'll note here that I found the short piece of hose from the reg to the rail very cracked and brittle. I replaced it with high-pressure fuel hose which I just bought at my local parts store. I'd suggest going to somewhere like Pirtek or Bursons and ensure you use proper fuel hose. Vacuum hose or heater hose won't do. It'll perish being exposed to petrol after awhile.

Now begins the fitment and reinstallation. Some of these steps can be disregarded if using reco'd or second hand injectors.
