doing injector o-rings, need help

Elk season is in a few weeks and I need to do GP's and figured with 246k on the clock o-rings couldn't hurt either. Are there any good write up on the procedure for doing o-rings? I know how to get them out, but lots of speculation on what to do after that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are 6 if you include the copper washer. What part number is the Alliant package? You didn't happen to order for the 6.0 did you? They have 7 pieces. What color are they(The Orings)?

Did you get an install picture with the new ones?

In case you didn't here is one.
