Replacing Injector

I was wondering how much work it is to change a fuel injector on cylinder 5. What do I all need to take off to get to the injector?

Thanks
 


make sure you change all of the orings while its out. dont forget to use either o-ring grease or vasoline to lube them before you put them back into the intake manifold and the rail
 


lol no do not **** any of them up.. you need all 12.. or you will have to buy a new set.. one oring goes in the fuel rail.. the other in the engine.. kinda lol
 
You missed the joke.

Simply put, it seems overkill to have two injector o rings. That is all.

The design probably requires it, but that would be an interesting design now wouldnt it.

one for the top of the injector when it goes into the fuel cup, one for the bottom when it goes into the bung on the head or manifold. its not rocket science fellas its only a 3.8 :D
 
yes make sure you lube them! shove them in the heads without lube and youll **** them up and have a big vacuum leak
 


youll probably have a hard time getting your old injector out. i used some pb blaster and just kept twisting it back and forth. then it popped right out. and your new injector will come with new o rings. dont be shocked, they are about 80 bucks apiece.
 
Well I was working last night and drove my sisters car and my dad decided to replace it himself. He said it was pretty easy. Thanks for the help guys.
