lateral force.  When torquing in, same thing, only it's safest 
to just be fully aware of any lean to your tools.  Keep them 
square to the injector, no tilting leaning or wobbling.

Just an important additional warning!!  Don't use a thick walled
impact type socket when removing/installing with an impact wrench.  
I learned the hard way and cracked out the area in question 
while spinning it out because it was binding up in there. Now I 
use a nice thin 12 point deep socket.
