injector bushing replacement

[R Mangas]

It's not bad if you have the tool; when I yanked the injectors from my parts
car I *didn't* have the tool and just gave up on #5.  Even if the orings are
left behind it shouldn't be too bad to fish them out; if you lose them into
the intake it's not the end of the world either.  Far scarier is when the
little hat-shaped metal dealie on the end of the injector is left behind.
Those you need to get out of there ;)

Depending on the model, you might wish to consider replacing the
'insulators' as well- another special tool, another old plastic part which
can crack and leak unmetered air.

  $0.02,
Robert
