Default Fuel smell. Replace just o-rings or seals too?

Quick question. I've been smelling fuel for a while and search points to injector o-rings. I went to honda and ordered o-ring, cushion ring, and seal ring for all 4 injectors ($50). Should I be replacing all these, or just the o-ring? Is replacing the seal ring more difficult? It looks like I can do the cushion ring and o-ring with the injectors left in the mani, but I would have to take them all the way out to do the seal ring, and it says press them back in. Is this difficult to do? Am I better off just replacing o-rings and cushion rings? Thanks.

Just the o-ring should do the trick... Man those seals and cushions are $$$$ arent they?

BTW, The old cushions are perfect for holding up a sagging shift boot.

Honda said they will give me the $$ back minus restocking fee (they were ordered, I didnt get them yet). The rest was 4 injector o-rings, fuel pressure regulator o-ring (because I took the regulator off when trying to troubleshoot why it won't start and didn't replace the o-ring), and two fuel filter crush washers (because the B&M fuel pressure gauge only came with one new one and the bolt is leaking. I hope to be rid of all fuel smell. Driving bomb not good.
