Can you remove just the #1 injector from the rail? Sometimes when I’m taking things apart I miss a screw or bolt that is hidden and keeping me from getting everything separated. Could there be one that you missed?

pull the fuel rail. undue the electrical connector. there
should be a clip. undue the clip and remove the injector.

Yep.

After it’s been on there for some time it probably is happy where it is, make sure you removed all the fasteners as suggested and then pry up on the fuel rail. If you’re worried about it you might consider putting a piece of wood between the prybar and fuel rail to help avoid damage. Once the fasteners are removed it’s just the ‘o’ rings at the ends of the injectors in the intake you just need to overcome that tension. Good luck.

When you install the injectors, make sure you put some lube on the o-rings S:)

Everything goes together better with lube! I recommend silicone paste for this as I’ve found it to work quite well and it doesn’t damage the ‘o’ rings like some petroleum based lubricant’s can.

Whenever I touch injectors I like to do new o-rings and I lube them with clean engine oil.
