How DO you get those injector clips off?
I was gonna replace the injectors in my 3.1, but I can;t figure out how the clips come off without breaking them. Do the come off from the left,right,how? And what do ya use to do it with?

i mean the lil wire clips??? if so push them in while pulling on the plastic connector.
most ppl pry the metal clips off,which results oin the lil metal clip going flying,and or a busted injector connector

Re: How DO you get those injector clips off?
i think there the easiest plug to get off just push in the metal clip as u pull on them, like they already said. Good Luck

might as well change those o-rings and while ur at it thermostats are cheap and are a *&%$@ to get to but since ur already there might as well change it now. Just a thought

Re: How DO you get those injector clips off?
I think you guys are talking about two different clips. There are the wire clips which hold the wiring harness to the injectors which you push in while pulling the harness out. And there are the little metal clips which secure the injectors to the fuel rail. I found it easiest to hold the fuel rail in one hand while using a flat tip screw driver to carefully push/rotate the clip. I just swapped out my injectors 2 weeks ago so this is still fresh in my memory!
