[s-cars] removing injectors/new seals

[Mike Fitton]

I just did this two weekends ago...made a world of difference.  The p/n 
for the seals is 035 906 149 A and you'll need 10 of them.

It's a pretty straightforward job.  Unplug the injectors, pop them out 
of the intake manifold, back off the little clips that secure them to 
the rail, and pop them out of the rail.  Note the exact orientation of 
the metal clips as I had some difficulty figuring out exactly how far 
into the rail the injectors should go before the clips go back into the 
right place.  Have rags on hand to soak up any fuel that drips out...I 
didn't go to any effort to evacuate the rail first, but it wasn't all 
that much fuel.  Be careful with the part of the injector that secures 
the o-rings, especially on the number 4 and 5 injectors.  They get 
baked, become brittle, and are prone to damage.  I recommend cutting the 
old o-rings off rather than trying to bring them over the lip intact.  
Installation is reverse of removal.  The new o-rings will be way 
tighter, so I used I few taps with a rubber mallet to seat everything 
before bolting down.  Fire it up (it'll take a few turns to fill the 
rail back up) and check for seepage.  Also, I spent some time in the 
inlet ports with rags, q-tips, and throttle cleaner...never hurts to 
clean something while you're in there.

-Cheers!
