Replacing a fuel injector help?
Hi all,
Do I need to remove the fuel rail to get an injector off my number 6? I'm trying to swap it out, but am afraid if I try and move the fuel rail, it will disconnect the other injectors. Please help.

Yes the fuel rail must come off and while you are at it, you might as well replace all the seals on all the injectors. Let me know if you need any help. I will give you some idea of what to do.

I'm just replacing number 6. It is my problem child. Is it required to replace the seal then? Does the new injector have a seal on it? Thanks

Do them all for insurance it will only cost you 5 or 6 bucks or dont, and put it all back on only to have a leak then you can go and get them your choice. By the way you'll need 12 new orings and a bit of vasoline.

You don't want to bend the rail so remove it from all of them. Hence you will prolly damage the O-rings on all of them so you have to replace the o-rings. Seems tedious but if it leaks it leaks on exhaust and then you will no longer have a jeep. So don't be lazy do it right.

Well, I was on my way reading the Haynes repair manual I got, and got scared. I need to take a class or something. By some of the illustrations, I just wasn't sure I was doing the correct things and didn't want to chance doing something wrong. I removed the TB, and moved the lines back, but I also bought a single injector, and I'm curious because I bought one for around $60. I noticed though that there were some that were around $30 but didn't want to half *** anything. Are the cheaper ones as good? I also got confused when the manual stated to remove both upper and lower TB Bonnets.
So, do the new O-rings come with each injector? Is there a preferred link I should be using to buy an fuel injector w/oring package? Thanks for the help everyone.
