changing injectors
 

any special tricks? i have to bleed them after i change them or any thing?

after you get them changed and tightened back up just loosen #1 fuel supply line and crank over until it spits fuel tighten it up and work your way down the line probably wont try to start until youve done 3or4 :humm:

so you crack the line and then pump the fuel primer?

mine usually fires right up without bleedin lines

could air get stuck in the system if u dont or it just blow out

you can pump the primer or crank it over either way will work and like captain stabbin says they have been known to start too without priming them

change the washers out even if they look good. The injectors have a button on the side make sure it drops in the slot in the head before you tighten them down. If the injector gets stuck go buy a nut that fits over the threads and use a pair of vicegrips to get it out.

Actually....
If he cuts a short piece of electrical conduit pipe(just long enough that it fits between the head and midway up the injector) and uses a factory lug nut flipped over he can pull the injectors out very easily.Cheapest injector puller one can ever have and it makes removing number 6 a breeze.......Andy

thats good advice, I've never had to use a puller with mine ( guess I have been lucky), normally I use a nut and a vicegrip and they come right out. I'll have to try this next injector go arround

do i have to take off a bunch of stuff like all the fuel line holders or just take off the top nut on the injector?

you have to take the fuel lines off the injectors and the pump, fuel return line needs to come off, and the injector nut. should be a 3/4 in wrench for the fuel lines, a 10 mm for the fuel return, and a deep 15/16 or 7/8 for the injector nut ( can't remember).

Yea, like my fellow 9412Valve said, make sure you replace all the washers, even if they look good. Don't forget the ones on the return lines either! I had a bit of trouble with #4 and #6, but I did exactly what Hammer suggested, and it worked like a charm. As far as bleeding the lines, I always do - guess its just habit? Anyway, I don't worry with priming up the pump. Just finger tight the injector lines and crank it a bit til it's leaking out of each line (on the injector side) then just tighten each one up til you get em all.
As far as stuff you need to take off.. I usually take that fancy valve cover off and remove the injector lines completely so I've got the room to work. I've done it to my truck quite a few times. It's a pretty straightforward job n shouldn't take all that long. good luck

are there like a rubber oring? ill give it a try tomorow

Also make sure you put some high temp anti-seize on the body of the injector when you install them as it will help when you need to remove them again.
