Injector Help

[DLo Eric]

Allright so basically my 3rd injector went out (again). Now I try and take the injector out like usual and it decides to be a prick and not want to come out. I've tried releasing the fuel pressure through the gas cap and also the fuel pump fuse taken out but it still wont budge. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've tried this method before and it came out but now it just wants to stay. And on top of that I beat the crap outta the top of the injector.... wonderful. Anyways, any ideas? Pics soon

Two surefire ways to get it out.

1) Hose pliers, tighten, twist, and pull. Hard.
2) Remove rail, turn over, swat injector with a mallet.

lube it up w/wd40 and use some visegrips, what i did

best bet=vice grips.. although I don't know if you even have enough of a surface to grab..

AND
if that injector fails frequently.. you may want to check the wiring or relays. your problem may be coming from elsewhere if your injectors consistently fail

Well, I decided to just buy a new fuel rail w/ 4 injectors (for $50!!!). I'm just going to take out the rail and put the new one in.

The injector prolly crapped out on me because I removed it the same way and the orings were kinda ehh so yeah.

I also heard it was good to put bearing grease on the orings so it wont seize up like it is now. Any thoughts?

carefull you don't get the grease on the sidefeed filters.. it'll clog 'em up

I used WD40 and put a nail on each side and pryed it up with two flatheads after twisting it several times. It's a real bitch

bearing grease is a no-no on injectors in my experiance. Try some silicon grease or white lithium grease....
