Injector cups

Ordered new cups from Riff Raff with the tool to pull them. Just wondering any of you guys have tips for me before I dig in.

Follow the instructions from Riff Raff. I did and the job is not too bad. Set apart some time and don't go too fast. It's not too bad of a job.

Good Luck!

It was a hell of the job for me. Clean the bores well. I could not get the cups to seal until the seventh time under the valve covers. Turned out I did not clean them enough for the loctite to seal. Therapy is helpful for PMS in general, and this job in particular...

You need a 13 mm flex socket, a universal makes the assembly too big. If it's a truck, you can get at the bottom bolts through the wheel well. If it's an Excursion, you have to wait until the stores open.

You will want a host of items to make the job easier, every tool I used is posted in that link in my signature (complete with pictures and videos). The Mity-Vac with a vacuum gauge is indispensable on the 7.3L.
