okay, so this MAY sound stoopid to some of you out there, but this will be my first time trying to dislodge galley-feed injectors. Please tell me that they don't just PULL OUT? If so, should I hook a winch to them or something? I can't friggin' get them to budge! LOL! H E L P !!!!!!!

Jeez...I thought we had some smarties on this list, must be not. I was under the impression that you guys actually WORKED on your cars!!! LOL- the dealers must just LOVE you guys!!! LMFAO!!!! No really, hasn't ANYONE on the list pulled their own injectors? Or are you all just waiting for me to lose it and yank the stupid thing out and smash it all to pieces?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> NOT FUNNY!!!

Never pulled mine on the 240. It should be simple, you may need a screwdriver to help you out. That's all I can tell you. Experiment with it, worked for me!

IceTekGuy · 10-28-2001, 08:17 PM

there are many hidden screws, so be careful... they should just pop out
with a cool sound too, mine did

*drifterx* · 10-28-2001, 09:28 PM

is he talking abt the fuel injectors off the rail or taking the rail out?
i know i had trouble taking them off the fuel rail my first time... cuz i was scared to break something

S13Grl · 10-29-2001, 07:48 AM

I think he's talking about injectors: you're gonna need a screwdriver to give yourself extra room to pull. They should be sticky: they're plastic and there's lots of heat in the engine bay. There's also fuel involved there too: can't be perfectly clean. Good luck!

yeah, I'm talking about pulling the injectors out of the fuel rail. I was just kidding by the way Vancouvers....still haven't yanked them, I just wondered if they had something "special" about them to get them outta the rail. I know the pintle-style pull straight, but this car is the first I've had this type with. Welp, thanks to all for the info!
