Injector Removal



I need to replace the injectors in my 1990 200 (MC engine) this 
weekend.  BTW, Linda @ Carlsen has the injectors for $43 each.  
Great price compared to the $97/ea. quotes I got locally....

After checking the Bentley, as usual, I find it's d**m little help. My 
unanswered question is - HOW do you remove the fuel injectors?  

The one and only sentence I can find tin the Bentley is in section 
20.17, wherein it sayeth: "Pull injectors (in direction of arrow) out of 
their inserts with fuel lines left attached."  [part of checking fuel 
injector sequence...]

I cannot believe I'm interpreting this correctly and that all one needs 
to do is give them a pull.  In my 280ZX, each injector has a 
retaining base with two screws - and it seems like there should be 
SOMEthing holding the Audi injectors in place.

So - what's the removal procedure?  What needs to come off befoer 
the injectors can be removed?  Anything to watch out for, such as 
small O-rings which can fall inside the manifold?  I already figured 
out that kinking the fuel lines is a no-no...

TIA, list-compadres.
