Injector retainer clip help

Just wondering how you remove and install the retainers. I couldn't figure out how to remove one, and with all the stuff going wrong with this damn car I yanked it out in a fit of rage with some needlenose pliers, splitting the clip in two. The injector came out though. How on earth do you get the clip in the rail, and the injector inside the clip? I'm going to burn this car.

I think I have the part number around here somewhere.
I just got mine from the stealership about 2 years ago.

Go to any car wrecker and grab acouple of new clips or practice taking them off.

I grabbed like 12 last year cause I found that they can spring off in all sorts of directions while I was taking them off if your not careful.

The easiest is the V6 Gm models..... corsica, beretta, grand prix etc.... they are in plain site.

Brind a flat screwdriver and needle nose pliers and take one side off at a time. Push down and to the side and it'll un-clip.

Take your time....
