Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) injector install question

[hutch]

My question is in the serive manual page 14-97 states that the connector tube must be removed before attemptingto remove infector. It don't address this item in the injector file I received???Would someone let me know which way to go. Going to install monday am. Thanks.

The injector tube is behind the fuel line nut. It has threads on the outside lip and I poped it out with a small screw driver in the threads. You don't have to take them all of the way out unless you are going to put new o-rings on them.

Yeah you don't need to remove them all the way, but you do need to pull them out slightly in order to remove and reinstall the injectors. If you force the injector in or out while the tube is in you run the risk of damaging the end of the tube. This will set you back about another $90 to get replacement tubes.
