Hey all, I am gonna be doing an injector swap here, and have been trying to figure out how to get the factory retainers off!! I've been playing with them for a while, and without breaking anything, I have been unable to disconnect the injectors with any success. Any help or tips would be awesome. Thanks, Josh.

 

They arent fun. Just gotta pry on them gently, they will fly off.

 

If I remember correctly there is a retainer clip in the clip itself. That pulls back (not out) and then you can squeeze on the sides of the injector plug and it will wiggle off.

 

So it sounds like a little more force is needed then I am using. Thanks for the quick response guys. Anyone else with some tips?

 

Use a small screwdriver and pry sideways to remove the metal clips holding the injectors to the fuel rails.

 

Yea, I remember that when I did mine, they were tight as hell...had to exert a little more force than I expected.

 

Remove the gray palstic that is on the clip and this will allow you to press down on the clip that is holding it, you could use a small screwdriver if needed.
