Removing and installing injectors

[Ted87GT]

Still working on installing the Trick Flow Intake. Finally got the old manifold off. Thanks to all who helped with that! Now I can't figure out how to remove the injectors? The instructions are no help. The factory manual doesn't help. I did a search of the forum but didn't find anything. Again I am worried about breaking anything. What's the story?

Just pull them out. Do it gently so the o-rings aren't damaged, but they should come out with little effort.

Dude, I just sprayed them with a little penetrating oil and used a claw hammer and a screwdriver for leverage to pry them out. It sounds dirty, but it works the best. It's not manditory, but I usually replace the O-rings and give the new ones a light coating of oil before installing them. They'll slide in slick as snot.

The real watery snot or that thick black snot you get after spray painting?

The nice slimey stuff. You wouldn't have that problem with the paint in your nose if you huff it throught an old sock, like the rest of us.
