anyone have a clue as to how the fuel injector clipss come off on a d16a6? i've looked and looked and for the life of me cannot figure out how they come off. i've even tried brute force and they will not come off.

also, when i do pull the injectors out of the fuel rail, does it require buying new o-rings?

theres a little metal clip that holds the plug on. you kinda have to pry it off from behind. its hard to describe in words. you have to pull the clip out from behind the plug enough to unlock the plug.

that pretty much makes no damn sense...somebody else tell how to do it!!!!!!

 

oh yeah, i rememebr seing those. i'll give it a try.

 

lol... i think i do need new o-rings now. had to take off the fuel rail and when i put everything back together the o-ring that went inside the fuel rail offered no resistance what-so-ever. i figured i'd give them a try anyways. so i went to prime the fuel system just to have fuel literally spray everywhere! you could the fuel spray all over the engine bay and even on the ground in front and sides of the car. damnit.

and all the dealerships are closed today in my area due to an ice storm we had. bah!

 

The metal clips end at the back, hook one side with a dental tool or something, and bring it up, and pull it out. It is hard to explain, takes patients. Ryan
