fuel injector install help
So I got some new ones from the J/Y and I am having a hard time getting the one closest to the firewall from leaking. Is there any tricks to it. I was trying to avoid disconnecting the fuel lines but I might tomorrow. I have already loosened and tightened it down at least 10-15 times and sometimes it seems to be fine then it starts leaking slowly. Any help would be great.

I should have disconnected the fuel lines. It allowed me to pop the injectors in place and I had no leaks whatsoever. So I hope this helps any other noobs with replacing their injectors.

Yeah, it is working fine now. I just had to pop them into place rather than trying to force the fuel rail on them.

They were off of a explorer, I don't know what year. It was practically torn apart at the junk yard so I snagged them. They have a red top and a four spray pattern.
