how do i change injector rubber grommets? i have taken out the injector. do i need to disconect the fuel line or will it slide up from the bottom of injector?

If it's the later K-Jet type with a chrome end it should stretch over it and sit in the groove once pushed up the injector. I used a bit of oil to help it to sit in the plastic cup - most went in easily but one was an absolute pig???

Can you buy new ones? They are pretty tough - takes some pushing to get them on!

but if you're desperate, the rubber rocker stud o-rings in an aircooled vdub gasket set work just as well i.e. any good quality o-ring of the right size should do the job
