Tool for replacing injectors.
Are there any special tools needed to replace an injector? Also is a bottle brush all you need to clean the bore before installing a new injector?

the torx bit has to be a long one 2.5-3" to get it to set properly otherwise you run the risk of stripping head or bit or not even being able to get a bite on it..
Oddly enough in the "rush" I was to find them long enough, I was only able to get them at harbor frieght. Dont really like the tools there but with the torque on these bolts they were good.

I just did one of mine for the first time about a week an half ago
here is the thread on how i went about it. I did not have a code reader so I had to do it the hard way to find out which one it was. LOTS of help from the folks here.

Thanks for the info. I will be picking up the injector from the dealer tomorrow morning. I wasn't planing on doing it right now, but the valve cover is off, and I need to get some parts anyway so.... Why not throw some more at it.
