Default injector nozzles

First off whats the difference between changing injector nozzles and the whole injecror? Secondly how hard is it to change the nozzles? I am curious because the nozzles are quite a bit cheaperand if they are easy to do then i wouldnt mind saving a few bucks if it takes me say a hour or two longer to change them out.

usually the diff. is inj. reman or new with oversize nozzles. nozzles only are alot cheaper way to go. Usually the injector bodies get opened up when stepping up to big hp increase nozzles but you can have your originall injectors sent off and have them done. Replacing them are easy as long as the nozzles dont stick and try to spin with the nut and break the 2 or 3 needles. If I had lb7 I would wait until I needed a new set and buy the whole injectors.

nozzels arent that bad to do. just make sure you get the tool. tool(plate that you slip the injector into that wat you can remove the nozzel while the inj stays put)
