Injector Changing Tip!

Injector Changing Tip!
I keep meaning to post this.
Dont fight with your injectors trying to pry them out, wiggle them out with a pair of pliers and screwing up your plastic, and dont try to vise grip the suckers out with all your force.
Simply turn over the fuel rail take a 11mm deep well socket place it over the injector...tap the 11mm socket with a hammer, and it pops right out.
Just thought that tip might help everyone out that is struggling getting the injectors out of the rails.

For me I needed to save the one's I was taking out, so I'm afraid this method might bust the pintle cap on the old VG style injectors..they stick a little farther out then those do.

They are VE injectors(same as 4th gen injectors btw) This method will break off the little fingers on the newer style pintle caps, but it doesn't hurt the injector at all, the main part of the pintle remains intact(the part that holds the lower o'ring). I have two of these injectors(from the video) in my current maxima right now, both were removed with this procedure.

I did read. I wouldn't use injectors that I removed that way. That's just me. You can do whatever you like.
